The module lasts the whole year. The programme will consist of two seminar hours per week. Weeks 3 and 4 of the summer term will focus on the oral presentations.

The classes will cover a range of themes related to current issues in modern Spanish speaking countries. Particular emphasis will be given to the development of analytical and critical skills, using authentic materials from a range of sources (television broadcast, newspaper articles, books, and websites). The medium of instruction is Spanish.
A reader has been created for this module, as well as a bibliography, which will be given as the term progresses.
