Prerequisites

To have passed the LALLE1100 course (or equivalent to level A2)

Main themes

Essentially those of everyday life (health, food, clothes, travel, love, ').
 

Aims

N.B. The indicated levels refer to the Common European Framework for Languages

Reading comprehension: B2 Level

  • Can read with a large degree of independence, adapting style and speed of reading to different texts and purposes, and using appropriate reference sources selectively. Has a broad active reading vocabulary, but may experience some difficulty with low frequency idioms.
  • Can understand articles and reports concerned with contemporary problems in which the writers adopt particular stances or viewpoints.

Listening comprehension: B2 Level

  • Can understand most radio documentaries and most other recorded or broadcast audio material delivered in standard dialect and can identify the speaker's mood, tone etc.
  • Can with some effort catch much of what is said around him/her, but may find it difficult to participate effectively in discussion with several native speakers who do not modify their language in any way.
  • Can follow extended speech and complex lines of argument provided the topic is reasonably familiar, and the direction of the talk is sign-posted by explicit markers.

Speaking skills: B1+ Level

  • Can communicate with some confidence on familiar routine and non-routine matters related to his/her interests and professional field. Can exchange, check and confirm information, deal with less routine situations and explain why something is a problem. Can express thoughts on more abstract, cultural topics such as films, books, music etc.

Writing skills: B1 Level

  • Can write personal letters describing experiences, feelings and events in some detail.
Evaluation methods

Different marks are taken into account in the final assessment:

  • continuous assessment
  • written and oral exam
Teaching methods

The course is based on different themes.  Learning is contextualised by didactic and/or authentic documents (reading and listening comprehension).  Vocabulary and basic structures are trained, consolidated and extended through written and oral exercises (drills, roleplays, interviews, conversations in small groups of 2 or 4 people'). 
In speaking skills, the focus is on communication rather than on correction, however phonetical correction will be stressed. An interactive and cultural approach is favoured.
