Spanish

Course summary

The course has been designed to give you a profound understanding of Spanish. Not only will you understand more about the mechanics of the language (grammar, vocabulary), but also how people live and use language on a daily basis. All this will be taught by looking at newspapers, books, magazines, television, film and, of course, textbooks. You will do some work in our language laboratory and will also have one hour per week of intensive speaking work with the Spanish Assistant. The course covers aspects of Hispanic Society, Multiculturalism, Artistic Culture, Political life in the Hispanic world, and literary texts and films. The cultural works studied are La Casa de Bernarda Alba by Federico García Lorca and El Laberinto Del Fauno by Guillermo Del Toro.
