About this programme

Spanish I for International Students is intended for those who have studied to at the minimum Spanish level 3 either in upper secondary school or means of our preparatory courses, and who lack the entry requirements in `Swedish. The student will take six different modules: Texts and Literature I and II, Grammar, Phonetics and Pronunciation, and The Spanish-speaking World I and II: Culture, society and nature. These courses taken together will provide you with good basic knowledge in and about Spanish and the Spanish-speaking countries. You will acquire basic language skills via reading both fiction and non-fiction texts, via written exercises and via training in oral communication. Basic grammar is systematically reviewed. By means of lectures and exercises in specialist texts about the Spanish-speaking world, you will gain insight into the special cultural, social and natural conditions in the wide-ranging Spanish-speaking world that exist historically and in the present. The teaching takes place primarily in Spanish, to facilitate the development of your language skills as much as possible. The overall document for a course is called the course syllabus .
