This topic builds on the knowledge and skills that students have acquired in previous topic(s). Emphasis is placed on understanding spoken and written Spanish, as well as on speaking and writing in Spanish. The overall goal of the topic is to enable beginner students to continue interacting in Spanish as naturally and as spontaneously as possible. The topic will enable students to produce further basic information about their background, abilities, employment, interests and preferences, past experiences, and immediate environment and to communicate in basic Spanish with native speakers of the language. Beginner Students will use the language in real, meaningful situations, and will continue to acquire the skills for effective listening, speaking, reading and writing in basic Spanish.

This topic aims to:

• introduce students to further aspects of the Spanish language through continuous and graded speaking, listening, reading and writing activities

• engage students in interactive activities in Spanish so that they can use Spanish in natural, spontaneous and meaningful ways

• encourage students to learn independently and collaboratively in an anxiety-free environment
