21810035 - HISPANIC STUDIES

This course is taught in Spanish and divided into two modules: the first is based on the (pre-)acquired linguistic and communicative skills and aimed at achieving the understanding and production of texts in the field of phraseology and sectoral paremiology (political, legal, administrative, economic). The second module focuses on the diatopic issues of the Spanish language with an in-depth global study of the cultural and institutional aspects of Latin American countries.

Los objetivos formativos del curso se dividen en dos módulos; el primero, a partir de las competencias lingüísticas y comunicativas (pre)adquiridas, está orientado a la consecución de la comprensión y producción de textos en el ámbito de la fraseología y la paremiología sectorial (política, jurídica, administrativa, económica). El segundo módulo se centra en las cuestiones diatópicas de la lengua española con un estudio global en profundidad de los aspectos culturales e institucionales de los países hispanoamericanos.
