Our aim is for the student to understand main ideas in complex texts about concrete and abstract topics. He must communicate spontaneously and freely enough with native speakers. Furthermore, we expect him to be able to express himself clearly and in detail about various themes, explain his point of view about current affairs as well as stating advantages and disadvantages. As for the written language, he must be able to produce long texts with details such as compositions, formal letters and reports, where he shall mention the important aspects. As for reading comprehension, he shall be able to understand contemporary literary language as well as long and complex texts which are based on facts, and appreciate style differences. With regards to listening comprehension, the learner must be able to understand long speech even if it includes implicit information and it is not clearly structured.
In such interventions students should also be able to use native speaker resources to handle implicit and explicit information. According to the European framework of reference for languages, students must be able to produce clear and detailed written texts on a variety of topics, as well as defend your point of view in general discussions and reflect upon the language and control their own learning process. Students should write relatively long texts, applying usual syntactic structures of the Spanish language. Therefore students should demonstrate an acceptable knowledge of textual coherence and cohesion procedures according to different types of texts: proper use of paragraphs, textual structuring, lexical and semantic elements, cultural awareness, etc.

Practical and theoretical lessons; tutorial sessions.
This syllabus unit aims at achieving the balance between the theory and the practice, relating the formal structures of the Spanish language to the corresponding communicative structures, techniques and pragmatic strategies, speech genre and textual products. We shall propose oral and written communication, without dismissing receptive skills and communicative tasks in real life, which make the learner able to understand and produce texts and have a self-domain of the end of the level B2 of the QECRL. In the teaching of the UC, we use diverse resources like the theoretical grammar explanations, exercises taken out of books or ad hoc prepared by the teacher, authentic documents (taken from radio programmes or from television), games, literary texts, technological tools, etc.
