Course objectives
The main objective of this course is that students become fluent enough so as to speak Catalan at a level of A2 in the CEFR. This means that by the end of the course students should be proficient enough to understand and produce expressions relationg their daily life (family, shopping, work, etc.). This includes linguistic competences (phonetics, lexis, grammar, etc.), sociolinguistic competence, and als pragmàtic competence. Different textual typologies will be presented, and students will learn how to differenciate registers and dialects. At the same time, basic informations regarding Catalonia, its society and its language will be provided in class, since this subject aims to work as an introduction to a wider program in Catalan language and literature.
