Module description

Leading to CEFR C1 (Advanced)/post-A-level*, this 24-week module builds on and broadens your existing knowledge and skills in listening, speaking, reading and writing in Spanish. The emphasis is on expanding your vocabulary, developing accuracy in oral and written communication, and learning to use more complex grammatical structures and sentences (e.g. compound sentences).

You will be expected to understand a variety of texts from a range of media, including literary texts, TV programmes and films. Materials in different varieties of Latin American and Peninsular Spanish will be used for reading and listening comprehension practice.
