    Paper Structure
    SPAN 232 emphasises an understanding of intermediate-level grammar, the oral practice of the language and reading comprehension. The teaching methodology used in SPAN 232 is student-centred, with the lecturer/tutor acting as facilitator, and the ultimate goal is to make the students independent users of the Spanish language. The lecturer/tutor will conduct the class in Spanish, and students are expected to communicate with classmates and their lecturer/tutor in Spanish.
    Teaching Arrangements
    Four lectures per week.
