GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This course is aimed at students who are beginners and want to feel
more confident when speaking. The main focus is on oral communication and interaction in real-life
situations. Through practical activities, students expand their vocabulary, improve comprehension,
and learn to express themselves more fluently on everyday topics. Basic grammar is also reinforced
to support clearer communication.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
By the end of the course, students will be able to:
Listening and reading comprehension
• Understand the main idea of short conversations and texts on familiar topics.
Speaking and interaction
• Take part in simple conversations about daily life, studies, work, and free time.
• Describe experiences, plans, and everyday situations.
• Ask questions, express simple opinions, and react in basic dialogues.
• Communicate with greater fluency, despite pauses and level-appropriate mistakes.

small-group work. Grammar is presented in a practical way and always in support of
communication. Spanish is used as much as possible from the beginning, adapted to the level of the
group.

By the end of the course, students will be able to participate in simple conversations with greater
confidence and autonomy and will be ready to continue with an A2 or A2+ level course.
