Alternatively, students of other subjects may take courses in Spanish for Non-specialists. Scroll down to find information on language courses at entrance level. SP10740, a 40-credit module extending over Semesters 1 and 2, provides an intensive introduction to the Spanish language. There are 4 main classes per week, though students are also expected to use the CALL facilities for private study.
Students meet with their tutor in small groups.
The focus is on speaking, especially the development of good pronunciation and accent. Students unable to attend both hours are advised to use LAB 1 on Fridays at 11.10 am or to obtain a card-key for entry after 5 pm for private study. Problematic areas, refinements and idioms are identified for special attention and are practised in selected drills and reading passages which are based on cultural, historical and topical Hispanic themes. In the latter, students prepare work in Spanish for the Monday oral class and write an essay in Spanish on Isabel for assessment. All classes are equally important in an integrated programme.
