Cannot be taken with: HSS180, HSS280, HSS282, HSS382
Pre-requisites: GCSE grade A*/A or equivalent CEF A1/A2 qualification or learning experience in Portuguese. Computer literacy.

Aims/Description: This module is intended for students wishing to develop their proficiency in Portuguese beyond GCSE-level (or equivalent) for educational, professional and recreational purposes. With three contact hours per week, including a lab hour, the module builds on previously acquired linguistic competence and cultural knowledge to enable students to start communicating in a fairly spontaneous and accurate way with native speakers in a range of simple, mostly predictable situations, including, for instance, expressing one's opinions on common topics or negotiating meaning. Particular emphasis is set on developing independent language and cultural learning skills through regular, semi-guided homework. Upon successful completion of the module, students should be able to perform at level A2 (Basic User) / B1- (Independent User) of the Common European Framework for Languages.

Restrictions on availability: Excluded units: HSS180, HSS280, HSS282, HSS382. This unit is only available to students with a GCSE grade A or A* in Portuguese or with an equivalent CEF A1/A2 qualification or learning experience.
