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.
By the end of the course, students will have acquired basic knowledge and skills in the field of Spanish linguistics (in particular with regard to its phonetic and morphological aspects, with a contrastive approach to Italian), also thanks to the support of exercises held by linguistic collaborators, aimed at reaching level B1 of the European Reference Framework.
Theoretical Module (for 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.
