The course focuses on how Spanish-speaking society has been shaped socially and culturally and how it continues to change. In the first year, aspects of the social context are studied, together with aspects of the artistic life of Spanish-speaking countries. In the second year further aspects of the social background are covered, this time focusing on matters associated with multiculturalism. Students also study aspects of the political landscape including the future of political life in the Hispanic world by focusing on young people and their political engagement. Students will develop their knowledge and understanding of themes relating to the culture and society of countries where Spanish is spoken, and their language skills. They will do this by using authentic spoken and written sources in Spanish i.e. newspapers, websites, TV programmes. Students develop the four language skills of reading, listening, speaking and writing through this work as well as building up their knowledge of Spanish grammar and structures. As the course progresses students, with the benefit of small classes, gain a lot of practice speaking Spanish and build up confidence and fluency. They also develop awareness and understanding of the contemporary society of countries where Spanish is spoken.
