Access (A1)
Platform ( The courses are designed for students with previous knowledge of Spanish. The aim of the course is to provide the student with the necessary resources and skills to understand the main points of clear texts in standard language if they deal with familiar matters, whether in work, study or leisure situations, i.e., those tools necessary to reach the threshold level (B1).
The fundamental objective is that the student, according to his/her learning style, develops his/her communicative competence and the methodological approach that best leads us to this objective is the development of a communicative approach.
As for the typology of activities, there is a wide range of activities ranging from the more formal ones (gap exercises, drills, question-answer, transformations, error correction...) to activities which gradually increase communicative freedom.
