Language: At the end of the course, the students should be able to: • comprehend the questions posed during the examination, and communicate in sufficiently coherent Spanish so that their responses are intelligible, • present and discuss the exam topic in Spanish using appropriate vocabulary, and • speak in grammatically accurate and well-pronounced Spanish, that is, avoiding major grammatical, lexical, idiomatic or pronunciation errors that inhibit communication.

Course content and structure | |||||||||||||||||||||||
The second semester of Spanishstudies builds on the knowledge
acquired during the first semester, with a particular focus on
culture and communication in Spain and Spanish America. Course
topics include: culture in its national, regional and local
expressions, the culture ‘industry’, and the role played by ICTs
and the information society in cultural and political modernisation
processes and governance.
The course builds on the themes presented in the first semester Globalisation Studies course. The themes are presented in conjunction with perspectives and concepts rooted in the specific language area, so that students develop an understanding of different theoretical traditions, and enhance their nationally specific knowledge as well as their cultural sensitivity |
