CATALAN LANGUAGE offers communication courses for beginners and advanced students and aims to introduce students to Catalan culture and language. The course offers students the basic skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing in the Catalan language. It consists of a half-year module and annual language exercises. The general objective of the course is to develop all the linguistic skills to achieve a B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for the knowledge of languages (CEFR).

1. Knowledge and understanding
Knowing the vocabulary concerning everyday communication situations and grammar.
Linguistic knowledge of the Catalan language up to the B2 level of the CEFR.

2. Applying knowledge and understanding
Knowing how to use the right vocabulary and a correct grammar for each of the daily communicative situations (discussed during the lessons).
To understand and produce written and oral texts from a level A2 to B2 of the CEFR.

3. Making judgments
Ability to identify any grammatical and phonological errors and to be able to find the bibliographic sources suggested by the teacher (such as knowing how to use the linguistic resource online http://aplicacions.llengua.gencat.cat/llc/AppJava/index.html or different dictionaries).

4. Communication skills
know how to communicate information in Catalan, using vocabulary and syntactic structures appropriate for everyday situations.

5. Learning skills
Self-evaluation skills at the initial level compared to the acquisition of metalinguistic contents, as well as to their competence in the Catalan language.
None… except for the desire and willingness to learn a European “minorized” language spoken by more than 10 million people.
The course starts from communicative situations that allow us to introduce the grammar of the Catalan language gradually, starting from the basic expressions to ask and give personal information, passing through those to ask for directions to get to a place, up to those used to go from doctor, to shop or to communicate in a university environment.

Specific concepts of sociolinguistics: bilingualism, multilingualism, diglossia, languages contact, etc.

There will be a full language, literary and cultural immersion in Catalan. That’s why it is encouraged to use as much Catalan as possible in the classroom.

The course has a highly practical and applied approach. It is a communicative type course developed to acquire optimal language skills in Catalan in small groups, which allows for the acquisition of the language in a much more effective and personalized way.
The teaching methodology includes resources of all kinds, from the classic grammar manual with exercises to more contemporary resources, such as YouTube, webseries in Catalan (Drama, Mai neva a ciutat), self-learning web platforms (h5p.cat), social networks (Instagram), songs, etc.
Furthermore, academic and cultural meetings will be held throughout the semester in order to listen, produce oral texts and interact in real cultural situations.
