This course is for students who need to communicate with fluency in Spanish. It is also designed for people working in the local tourist industry who need to communicate at an advanced level with Spanish clients. Students will have the opportunity to focus on specific skills, such as extending vocabulary in given areas, improving written language, and developing a better understanding of specific cultural and social issues relevant to the tourist industry. The class is conducted entirely in Spanish and includes individual presentations by the students, as well as group debates and discussions on Spanish current affairs, Spanish news, songs, poems, movies etc. Students enrolling should have enough proficiency/fluency to follow the class.

This class will be delivered online via the online platform Zoom. Enrolling students need to ensure they have an email, a reliable internet connection, microphone/speakers and access to a tablet, smartphone or computer.
