The aim of the course is to consolidate basic Spanish language skills (level A2) and bring students up to level B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. Specifically, it aims to develop communication and comprehension skills, so as to be able to interact in areas of personal and professional interest. The course also aims to deepen knowledge of Spanish-speaking cultures.

The final grade for the course is calculated as follows:
- Continuous assessment (25%)
o 3 grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation tests (dates announced at the beginning of the year on the WebCampus course syllabus; attendance is mandatory)
o 2 written assignments
- June exam (75%)
o Linguistic skills: 15%
o Reception skills (reading and listening): 20% o Written production: 10
o Written production skills: 10%.
o Oral production skills (alone and in interaction): 30%.
Absence or an attendance grade for any part of the exam will result in an absence or an attendance grade for the whole assessment.
In the second session, students who obtained a final mark of less than 10/20 in June will be required to re-take the part(s) for which their mark is less than 10/20, i.e. linguistic skills, reception, oral production and/or written production.
As in June, an absence or attendance grade for any part of the exam will result in an absence or attendance grade for the whole assessment.
If you fail again, you will have to retake the whole test the following year; there will be no partial exemption (grade carry-over) from one academic year to the next.
