Adult & Higher Education

This course is for adults who have done some study of the language before, who have a basic knowledge of Spanish and can cope with basic tourist conversations. You will expand your vocabulary and grammar using all four language skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing) on practical topics to enable you to communicate.

We will listen to audio materials and practise pronunciation in class and will also spend some time developing your reading and writing skills. 

Homework is given on a weekly basis. To benefit most from the course, you will be encouraged to read the materials used during lessons and refer to the course book.

• Revision of the present tense.
• Talking about the weather using a wider variety of vocabulary.
• Making comparisons, talking about transport and making plans for the future and holidays.
• Talking about the past.

To join at this level, you should have a basic knowledge of Spanish and knowledge of the present tense – regular, irregular and reflexive verbs. You should be able to:

• talk about yourself, your family, hobbies, likes, dislikes and ask questions.
• write a simple text in the Present about yourself, your family.
• describe people, cities, clothes, where you are; ask for directions, deal with hotels, shopping and restaurants.

Please note that Spanish Year 3 classes may vary slightly in the level studied, as this can depend on the pace and skills of each individual cohort. To get a more detailed course outline of your preferred course please contact ahedlanguages@psc.ac.uk. 

Please bring a pen, paper and a folder. Text books will be discuss on the first session.

We offer a Semester 2 course in the summer term. It begins immediately after Semester 1 and is an integral part of the course, the exact length of which will be decided in the spring term. After completing this course students can progress to the next level of the language.
