Spanish Intensive 2 course at SFC corresponds to the level A2 of the Common European Framework for Languages (CEFR). A2 is the advanced-beginner level where:
(1) The learner can understand sentences and frequently used expressions related to areas of most immediate relevance (e.g. very basic personal and family information, shopping, local geography, employment).
(2) The learner can communicate in simple and routine tasks requiring a simple and direct exchange of information on familiar and routine matters.
(3) The learner can describe in simple terms aspects of their background, immediate environment and matters in areas of immediate need.
Students who have successfully obtained credit in either the Intensive 1 or the Basic 2 can take this course. Alternatively, students with a prior A1 level can enroll directly into this course through taking the placement test (see the information provided by the administration for the exact date, hour and place). We welcome students whose native language is not Japanese, and will provide necessary explanation in English. By carrying out five tasks using Spanish and through the examination of our own foreign-language learning process, we will attach great importance to your development and growth as a 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.’ Students enrolling in this course need to secure sufficient study hours outside the class.
