- Having enrolled for this course and included it in one's curriculum.
- Simultaneously follow the BAC 1 Spanish classes offered by FIAL
Main themes
The aim of this course is to develop the systematic mastering of the communication and language skills (socio-lignuistic and pragmatic) needed in various productive, receptive, interactive and mediating situations, corresponding to an A2-level starting point and a B1.1-level objective of the Common European Framework of Reference for languages.
To reach that target, the themes tackled in the course differ from those that are usually addressed when only basic communication skills are aimed at. Conversations, critical reflection and writing activites will be organized about: the family, leisure and points of interest, work, travel and current events, abstract or cultural subjects such as music, cuisine, history or cinema.

Teaching methods
This learning module starts from an action-oriented approach, which means that the language learner is essentially becoming a language user in various fields (personal, public, professional, educational) and situations (places, organizations, actors, objects, events, operations, texts).
The learning module is mainly taught in the form of contact hours, along with e-learning support on two UCL platforms (Moodle and Mahara).
The learning module follows a foreign-laguage handbook and its workbook, corresponding to the level aimed at in the course (B1.1).
The learning module is based on the PBL principle (problem-based learning) as well as the principles of self-study and self-reflection: the student is at the heart of their learning process and they are cognitively activated, so that they can autonomously self-construct their knowledge and know-how, beside the help of their peers. Various self-assessment and peer assessment activities will thus be proposed throughout the learning module.
