B2482 - Language with Oral and Written Practical Exercises (Second Language: Spanish) I

Learning outcomes

By the end of the module, the student knows the basic elements of the grammar of the Spanish language; is able to understand and produce written texts and oral discourse; and possesses sufficient linguistic competence to handle non-complex communicative situations.

Course contents

The main objective of the Module is to develop, through the description of the Spanish language system, students' linguistic, metalinguistic and communicative skills in Spanish. Starting from a basic level, the Module will propose the analysis and study of grammatical topics involving the different linguistic levels (phonetic-orthographic, morphosyntactic and discursive). Using at all times a communicative approach, the main contrastive aspects between Spanish and Italian will be emphasized. The Spanish described will be mainly international or neutral (written and oral), without losing sight of the main American issues at the grammatical and lexical level.

The Module is complemented by the Spanish Language Lectorate taught by Rubén Tortosa Sánchez (https://www.unibo.it/sitoweb/ruben.tortosa) with 70 % compulsory attendance.

Culture will be present in each of the tools provided in the course and lectorate methodology: from the examples offered during the language descriptions to the texts and audios used by the lecturers as resources for comprehension and as a cue to stimulate further communication processes on the part of the students.

Teaching methods

The Spanish Language module with practical written and oral exercises I (second language), with an attendance requirement of 70%, in addition to the frontal didactic activity, will have a seminar character, so the active participation of all students is required both during the lectures and in relation to the exercises proposed by the lecturers through the use of audiovisual materials and the Internet.

Assessment methods

The final test of the Spanish Language Module with written and oral practical exercises I (second language) provides a verification of the acquisition of theoretical content and language skills and is composed of: a written test (grammar + written production) and an oral test (interview on the topics included in the program).

Passing the written test (with a minimum grade of 18/30) is compulsory for access to the oral test, in which pronunciation and oral production skills will be tested.
