Spanish Level 3 Year 2

At this level you will develop the ability to use the language effectively for the purpose of practical communication. You will be able to cope with a wider range of topics and will be given the opportunity to use imagination to solve more open-ended tasks. This is not a qualification course.

You will learn to give and seek factual information; express and find out attitudes of others, agreeing and disagreeing, giving and asking for reasons, requesting assistance, enquiring about and expressing intention, expressing judjements and evaluations. Grammatical structures includes present participles, past tenses, conditional, comparative, superlatives, adverbs and relative pronouns.

There will be no exams or qualifications. Whilst you will, predominantly, be using speaking and listening skills in class, it is also important to recognise and address the fact that reading and writing skills are also important. You will be encouraged to practice these skills at home. Reading and writing will be explored as part of weekly homework, via Google Classroom, which the tutor will mark and feed the results back to you. This will help you both to know what needs to be done to help you to progress. Developing independent language skills will be important at this stage in order that you become proficient at studying on your own. Tutors will encourage you and make sure you have the appropriate skills to make it a positive experience. So that you can be successful in learning the language, we do require that you arrive promptly for each lesson, and that you try not to miss any (you need to agree to attend at least 80% of the lessons). You will be given an Individual Learning Plan on which you and the tutor will be able to chart your progress. In every lesson, you will be expected to comment briefly in writing on your learning, and your tutor will give you feedback and suggestions on ways in which you can improve. Lessons will be classroom based and supported by Google Classroom. This is our virtual learning space which will enhance your learning experience and will be used for resources, extra activities, homework, assignments, as well as to extend learning and support independent learning throughout the week. You will be able to access Google Classroom via a secure leicesterlearns account. Additionally, students will be asked to complete a course evaluation survey to share their learning experience. This survey will be shared via Google classroom at the end of the course.

Languages at level 3 courses are intended for people with previous knowledge of the subject. You should have completed, at least, a level 2 Year 2 previously, or have 3 years of studying the language.
