Synopsis:

This course builds upon the foundations established in course XSZ2 and further develops students vocabulary and grammatical competence. It includes an introduction to the realia and cultural context of Spanish-speaking countries, with a primary focus on Spain. Particular attention is given to key grammatical structures, including the pretérito perfecto, pretérito indefinido, pretérito imperfecto, the gerund, and the imperative.

The course also focuses on both written and spoken communication on general topics. Students are prepared for this through targeted reading and listening activities.

Requirements:

Students will have successfully completed course XSZ2 and demonstrated mastery of the material outlined in the syllabus.

Active participation in class is required, as well as regular attendance, i.e. a maximum of 6 absences per semester. In justified cases, absences are assessed individually.

Students must be prepared for each lesson. This means that they must have the necessary materials with them each week, including pen, paper and class materials or bring a notebook/tablet to access them electronically. Independent completion and timely submission of all written assignments is also expected.

The zápočet will be based on the material covered throughout the semester. The exercises will closely reflect those practised during the lessons, including listening, reading, vocabulary, grammar, and short writing tasks. Without the express permission of the instructor, students may not use any aids during the test.

A minimum of 60% is required to pass. If unsuccessful, students will be offered a second attempt, with a pass mark of 70%. Failure to meet this requirement will result in the need to retake the course from the beginning.

Students may take the exam after completing all courses and obtaining the relevant credits (5 courses at the Z level). The exam consists of a written and an oral part.
