Synopsis:

The course books are supplemented with additional subtechnical materials, so the students will be gradually acquainted with the peculiarities of academic style. They will be competent enough to use the Internet in Spanish and search for information of their specialization or field of interest. Students will use the information to write short articles and summaries. The final part of the programme, general Spanish course based on course books, covers presentations and, finally, a written and oral examination.

Requirements:

Students will have successfully completed course XSM2 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 3 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 (3 courses at the M level). The exam consists of a written and an oral part:

- A written essay, based on one of the formats practised during the course (carta de motivación, descripción de un proceso or descripción de un gráfico.)

- An individual oral examination.

Syllabus of lectures:

Textbook Aula Internacional 3 - Nueva edición, lessons 9 - 12.

Syllabus of tutorials:

The course is run as a series of seminars following the topics and scope of the syllabus mentioned above.
