(We aspire for a multilingual and pluricultural learning environment, and therefore accept and welcome GIGA and other students who are not native speakers of Japanese. Where necessary, we combine Spanich, Japanese, and English when we give explanations. Any previous inquiries before we start the term should be directed to the course coordinator and Spanish Department email addresses.)
Previously, the Spanish course at Keio-SFC substituted the Intensive 3 with the Study-Abroad Program at Salamanca (Spain). Starting from spring semester 2017, we will offer an in-campus course for this level aiming to achieve a more solid capacity of intermediate Spanish amongst the learning students. This will be the course to take for those who have already completed the Intensive 2.Intensive 3 and the following Intensive 4 aims to attain the "B1" level based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), where the learner is able to deal with standard situations encountered in work, schoool, or leisure. The learner will also be able to produce logically-constructed texts. We will therefore be dealing with relatively complex communicative situations and linguistic structures (grammars). By carrying out tasks using Spanish and through reflexive examination of our own foreign-language learning process, we give great importance to the development and growth of individual learner, who takes responsibility of his/her own learning, i.e. as a learner who not only learns Spanish, but also learns ‘how to learn.’
