This is an intensive course consisting of four classes per week designed for those beginning to study Spanish. The Spanish courses at SFC is not divided into the traditional "grammar" and "communication" modules, and emphasises the importance of integrating both aspects through the active learning approach, which requires participation of students in classes. As this is an intensive course, we will proceed with 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 Intensive 1 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. 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.
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.
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 deal with relatively complex communicative situations and linguistic structures. By carrying out variosu concrete "Tasks" using Spanish, and through 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.'
