Abstract

Level B2-C1 (global scale of the European Council). Independence in the use of the language, i.e., fluency in the communication with native speakers, and logic argumentation of written ideas.

Objective

The course aims to lead the student to 'freely' use subordinate and other structures, from the native speaker's perspective, to achieve spontaneity in oral communication. Importance will be given to vocabulary, writing, which is to be aproached as a self-study exercise.

Content

Review of some subordinate structures; paradigm indicativo/subjuntivo. The oral practise will be focused on topics related to our semestral reading (see under 'Literature'), as well as on topics suggested by the students.

Resources

Literature

We will use material created and/or adapted by the teacher (a small fee will be asked for photocopies). We will also read a novel or short stories by a contemporary Latin American or Spanish author. Books will be available from the beginning of semester at the bookshop “El Cóndor”, Seilergraben 43, in Zurich ( www.condorlibros.com ).
