Subject Description

This is an introduction to the Catalan language and to the culture of that part of Spain in which Catalan is spoken. Regular work with video and audio tapes from the widely-acclaimed Catalan language course, Digui digui, written exercises and reading preparation will be set. A wide spectrum of audio, video and written materials are available direct from Catalonia which help to reinforce the everyday use of the language. Various aspects of Catalan civilisation will be introduced and the problematic coexistence of Catalan alongside Spanish, especially in relation to Barcelona, will be explored.

Assessment

Written work, oral/aural work, a written test and class participation all equivalent to 5000 words.
