The themes of the course range from talking about the past to urbanism. The course is lively and varied, with a wide range of authentic mixed-media material from Spain and Latin America, structured to allow students to evaluate progress, build confidence and encourage participation. The course will teach you how to communicate in situations ranging from everyday conversation to putting forward your point of view in a debate. Students will also have an opportunity to improve their grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary.This material is taken from The Open University Course L204 Viento en popa: upper intermediate Spanish.
