Learning outcomes

At the end of the course students will reach A2+/B1 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and they will be able to understand the main points of clear standard input on familiar matters regularly encountered in work, school, leisure, etc; the students will be able also to deal with most situations likely to arise while travelling in the territories where the Catalan language is spoken, produce simple connected text on topics that are familiar or of personal interest, and, finally, describe experiences and events, dreams, hopes and ambitions and briefly give reasons and explanations for opinions and plans. Besides, the student will achieve a general knowledge of the Contemporary Catalan culture (60s and 70s): historical, social and linguistic context under the dictatorship, literature, cinema, plastic arts (reference text, "L'agent provocador" by Pere Gimferrer).

Program

The study of grammar (phonetics, morphology, syntax) is seen as means to develop the capacity of understanding (written and oral forms) and expression (written and oral).

3- Tenir cura de la salut (Consigli e Condizioni: il condizionale e l'imperativo)
4- Feines de tota mena (Congiuntivo)
5- I si sortim? (Congiuntivo e imperativo)
Reading: "L'agent provocador" by Pere Gimferrer (through the literary text we will deep on the particular context of the 60s and 70s still under the dictatorship: censorship, language, literature, cinema ...)
In order to improve analytical and critical reflection on language, the theoretical and methodological lessons are complemented by practical activities.
