Summary
Building on level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, this course prepares students for level C1. At the end of the second year, students should reach the level of autonomous speaker, which would allow them to express themselves easily in Spain or in a Spanish-speaking country.
During this semester, particular interest will be attached to the preparation of the DELE B2 (or even C1 for more advanced students) certification issued by the Cervantes Institute, on the one hand, and to subjects relating to the world of work, on the other hand (the distribution of working time, cultural differences with France, working hours in Spain, teleworking, happiness management in the workplace [great place to work], etc.).
Educational goals
Give students the opportunity to improve the four language skills and develop the linguistic, scientific and cultural aspects necessary for their future engineering profession in a globalised world that stresses the importance of intercultural interactions.
Oral comprehension:
- Understand fairly long conferences and speeches, follow a complex argument if the subject is relatively familiar.
- Understand most TV programmes about current events and the news.
- Oral expression:
Take part in a conversation.

Continuous Assessment
Comments: The continuous assessments, in addition to the midterm exams, aim to assess each of the four skills for each semester, giving increasing importance to oral expression, an essential tool for any engineer in the workplace.

Pedagogy
The multimedia laboratory and computer room allow students, supervised by their teacher, to work on the four language skills, with significant importance given to oral comprehension of authentic and recent documents, essential contact with the cultural realities of the Hispanic world and culture. In addition, special attention will be given to oral communication.
- Oral comprehension: multimedia language lab or video sequence.
- Oral expression: continuous (presentations, professional projects, reports, etc.) and interactions (simulations, role play).
- Written comprehension: press articles addressing the world of work and its cultural specificities.
- Written expression (write a formal and informal letter, write a dialogue, brainstorming topics, etc.).
- Preparation for DELE B2 and C1.
Professional aspects:
- Broaden knowledge/write other letters. (Complaint letters, business letters, etc.)/write an email
- Oral expression: continuous (presentations: learn how to take stock, professional projects, reports, etc.) and interactions (simulations, role play, make a video).

Remarks
At the end of the course, engineering students should have acquired (and validated for those volunteering) level B2 at the end of the second year. They should begin level C1 in the third year. Volunteer students are therefore given the opportunity to take the DELE B2 or C1 exam (Diploma de Espaï¿œol como Lengua Extranjera [Spanish certification level B2]). This certification is recognised by companies internationally. Students will also be offered the opportunity to take the CLES B2, a public university language certification.
Furthermore, students begin the year by starting with a week of intensive language classes, which allow them to immerse themselves in the school itself and give them the opportunity to re-motivate themselves when it comes to languages, if necessary, and to be less apprehensive about the rest of the year.
