Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
Basic knowledge of Spanish in a wide variety of situations with the aim to develop learner's confidence in language learning, understanding and responding to others in appropriate situations.

All units are topic-based and introduce a fundamental aspect of structure. Each unit is subdivided into several, stand-alone sections allowing the main topic to be developed and diversified, focusing on many aspects of everyday life and allowing the presentation of subsidiary grammatical items and lexical areas.
Assessment Information
Language exercises, two assessments in weeks 1-11 worth 40% of continuous assessment mark and may be accompanied by computer-based language work and the Degree exam at the end of semester worth 60%.
Special Arrangements
This course is open to all students. DELC students may only take this course if it over and above their full credit load, as in a non credit bearing course.
