Spanish Language 1 (9 CFU) consists of an annual Spanish Language Course and a Theoretical Module in the first semester.
The lessons of the theoretical module are taught in two groups divided up by surname initials (A-K in group A and L-Z in group B). There are three Spanish Language Course groups, divided up by level: beginners, intermediate and advanced.
The course Spanish I as a third language (6 CFU) includes only the Spanish Language Course.
Theoretical Module (9 CFU):
The aim of the course is to provide the tools to understand the different linguistic components of Spanish that are used in communicative activities, paying special attention to the phonological/phonetic and morphological levels, also from a contrastive point of view. A historical-geographical overview of the Spanish language will also be provided.
Spanish Language Course (Lettorato) (9 & 6 CFU)
The 1st year Spanish language Course is aimed at a linguistic-cultural preparation at the B1 level of the CEFR.
