Spanish language students from Australia.

• Units 0, 1, 2, 4 and 5 of the Aula internacional Plus 1 textbook, published by Difusión (see Annex 1). These contents correspond to level A1.1 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). They will be revised at the beginning of the course to help students keep up with the progression of the course.
• Units 3, 6, 7, 8 and 9 of the Aula internacional Plus 1 textbook, published by Difusión (see Annex 2). These contents correspond to level A1.2 according to CEFR. They will be studied in detail during the students’ attendance the Language Learning Centre.

From 8 to 19 July.
From Monday to Friday, 9:00am to 1:30pm.

At the end of the course, students will take a 4-part exam. Each section constitutes 25% of the final grade:

• Section 1: Reading comprehension (2 tasks)
• Section 2: Listening comprehension (2 tasks)
• Section 3: Written interaction and production (2 tasks)
• Section 4: Spoken interaction and production (2 tasks)

Additionally, as part of the programme, the Language Learning Centre of the Universitat de València offers two types of recreational activities:

• Curricular activities: Activities within the course schedule that take place outside classroom twice a month (usually on Fridays) and are related to the course contents. All students are welcome to participate. The activities are adapted to each level to ensure that the most suitable content is covered.
• Extracurricular activities: Social and cultural activities that aim to familiarise students with the culture and the traditions of the city they are living in, as well as its history and its most iconic places.

These activities are adapted to the different levels offered at the Language Learning Centre of the Universitat de València (based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages and on the Instituto Cervantes Curricular Plan). Each activity is contextualised with a specific language learning objective. We hope that our students will find these activities useful and that they will recognise their critical role in  reinforcing the knowledge acquired in the classeroom, while at the same time helping them get to know the city in which they live, its traditions and the culture that surrounds them.

The proposed calendar is based on our experience in teaching similar intensive courses.

The lessons will last for 4 hours, with a 30-minute break after 2 hours to ensure students can make the most of the classes. Typically, after 4-hours of lessons, students can become tired, and the sessions may not be as beneficial.

At our centre, we combine a variety of activities during the lessons to enhance students’ competencies and optimize their learning experience, while encouraging active participation in class.
