The course is integrated by language practices of Spanish, which are held all the year along by a native speakers staff. For any information about their language learning, contacting prof. Mazzocchi (responsible for the course) is highly recommended. Practices program includes basic morpho-syntactical structures, including indicative, imperative and subjunctive (present and imperfect tenses) for verbs. To pass all tests forseen for the practices is propedeutic to the exam. Written test includes: dictation, grammar exercises, translation, essay. Students who attend at least 70% of practices, may stand intermediate tests (before Christmas holidays, and at the end of third term, and of fourth term). Passing the three intermediate tests exempts from the final test, except in the case students want to improve their mark. The knowledge of spoken Spanish will be verified in a few minutes conversation before the exam; such a conversation will deal with topical subjects,and two tales books by G. García Márquez(Los funerales de la Mamá Grande, El coronel no tiene quien le escriba), compulsory reading).
