For Spanish, this only exists as a discrete area of language study at Level 3. At Levels 1 and 2, GLP and BLP language modules are taught in common. WLP language work is designed to suit the needs of the non-specialist linguist following programmes based mainly outside the School of Humanities, Languages and Social Sciences. If you study WLP Spanish language modules, you are not normally entitled to residence abroad. Our language programmes aim to improve the full range of communicative competences.
Equal emphasis is given to the development of written, oral, aural and reading skills.
Written exercises may involve summary and essay practice in Spanish, translation and grammar work. Other exercises are designed to improve reading and listening skills. On the oral side, role-plays, debates, short presentations and discussion with Foreign Language Assistants form the basis of your work. Language learning provides the perfect context for developing interpersonal skills. Techniques for achieving this are built into all language programmes.
