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. In addition, the student will acquire a general knowledge of contemporary Catalan culture (historical, social and linguistic context) through music: from the artistic movement of the "Nova Cançó" during the dictatorship, to the "Catalan rock" of the 90's, passing through the "normalització" lingüística " , till our days (trap, rumba, pop, etc.)

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).

2- Fem les maletes (Possibilità, volontà e futuro. ). Rutes literàries
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)
Readings through music (with examples of several important socio-cultural moments from the second half of the twentieth century to ourdays): La Nova Cançó, La música moderna en català (rock, pop, rumba, trap)
In order to improve analytical and critical reflection on language, the theoretical and methodological lessons are complemented by practical activities.
