Description

This course aims to enable you to communicate in Spanish in everyday situations. It will revise and consolidate your knowledge of Spanish at lower intermediate level and introduce new structures and vocabulary gradually. You will build up your confidence in all four skills, with the emphasis on speaking and listening, as well as learning new grammar and vocabulary.

What can students expect?

The aim of the course is to develop previously acquired basic beginners and post-beginners Spanish to boost students’ confidence in understanding and speaking Spanish, coping with routine and also less predictable everyday situations and learning to maintain a social conversation. 

Students will revise some grammar and expand vocabulary, and there will be practice in conversation, asking questions and improving listening and reading comprehension skills.

Learning will happen through practical activities involving all four skills: reading, speaking, listening and writing.

 

 

This course will be delivered at Stoke Lodge but will move to online delivery if necessary.
