The course especially offers a deep analysis of peninsular Spanish syntax of the verb (use of tenses and moods); elements about American variety will also be offered. The approach is a contrastive and descriptive one, and it's focused on the dialectics between use and rule.

A contrastive description of morphological and syntactical structures of Spanish: use of moods (indicative, subjunctive, conditional, non-finite forms), the passive voice, the expressions of order, duty and necessity, periphrasis, prepositional accusative. The latest ortographic reform of 2010.

Written exam in Spanish.
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. Lodi is recommended. Practices program includes: revision and improving of first year program, verbs morphology (completion), verbal syntax (introduction). To pass all the forseen tests of the practices is propedeutic to the exam. Written test includes: dictation, grammar exercises, translation, essay. Students who attend at least 70% of the practices, may stand the intermediate/partial tests (before Christmas holidays, end of fourth term). Passing the three intermediate tests exempts from the final test, except in the case students want to improve their mark (renouncing to the results of the intermediate tests). 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 three novels by Juan Marsé: El amante bilngüe, últimas tardes con Teresa, La oscura historia de la prima Montse,(compulsory reading).

On the Kiro platform ("Common Courses" folder > Lingua Spagnola 2), students, and in particular attending students, will be able to find information about the course and supplementary material to the notes uploaded by the teacher during the lesson period.
