A synopsis of the curriculum This module is intended for students from any discipline at the University of Kent who wish to do a Spanish wild-module at GCSE level. This intermediate post-GCSE course will be a follow-on course from LS315 Learning Spanish 1B in their first year and will lead onto the LS566 Learning Spanish 2B in Spring term and onto the LS504 Learning Spanish 3B (Post A level) module in the following year. The main aims of the module are to consolidate and expand knowledge of the grammar and structure of the language, and to promote a high level of skills in speaking, listening, reading and writing. A secondary aim is to increase awareness of Spanish and Latin American cultural contexts and linguistic expressions through the use of the module textbook and material adapted from real-life sources.
