Basic 1 is a relatively relaxed course designed for those beginning in their study of the Spanish language. We welcome students interested in Spanish-speaking societies and cultures, who wish to engage in multilingual education including Spanish, as well as those aspiring to broaden their career options through the acquisition of this language. The Spanish courses at SFC is not divided into the traditional "grammar" and "communication" modules, and emphasises the importance of integrating both aspects through active learning approach. This requires participation of students in classes. Although this is a "Basic" course, we will still proceed at a relatively high speed, and students are expected to secure sufficient amount of self-study time outside classes to assure the thorough understanding of newly-learned expressions and vocabularies. Spanish Basic 1, together with Basic 2, corresponds to the level A1 in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). We are experimenting with multi-language teaching, and are happy to accept GIGA students with developing knowledge of Japanese.
Spanish Basic 2 is the second step in the Spanish language curriculum at SFC. Our objective will be to acquire the skills necessary for basic everyday communication. We will make a first encounter with this language spoken by 427 million people around the world, learn how to communicate using it, and understand its basic structures. By carrying out three 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.’ This course covers the second half of the "A1 level" defined by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
Students with some previous knowledge of basic Spanish might want to enroll directly into this Spanish Basic 2. In that case we encourage you to consult the Department of Spanish and Spanish-Speaking Societies and take the placement test before the semester begins.
