The students will be provided with the scope for linguistic reflection and usage with the fundamental aim of teaching the student discourse production. Comments on and analysis of speech functions, as much in oral expression as in written texts, along with the integrated skills, will provide the student with the control instruments to be involved in discourse-linguistic production.

For the Hispanic Studies Course the teacher will adopt the materials for analysis for the corresponding group, as well as the explanation of the linguistic content consistent with the Advanced and Superior levels, according to the following: group C corresponds to Advanced B; group D to Superior A; group E to Superior B.

Syllabus
The content of the following sections will be distributed throughout the course, both oral and written simultaneously as certain questions (scientific presentation, line of argument, etc) affect both.

I. Written production: analysis and production of the written text.
Analysis will be centred on the importance of the text, textual sequences, discourse connectors, lexical selection and register. Likewise, models of information, narration, description, commentary, line of argument, etc. Different types of texts will be taken into account. Analysis may also be extended to literary texts, the texts themselves or texts which illustrate some of the before-mentioned particulars. Linguistic difficulties will be detected and the students will be encouraged to form critical opinions. In as much as written production, from selected texts, the student must acquaint him or herself with the topic (which involves supplementary reference work, synthesis of content, etc,) elaborate an outline and write.

II. Oral production

1. Given that the greater part of the technical questions referred to in the previous paragraph are for oral discourse in more formal situations, the analysis and practice now will be centered on “presentation of a topic”, on the part of the students, with special attention on academic topics. However, variations on topics, audience or aims will be considered (presentation, persuasion, etc.) This involves: motivation in the selection of a topic, search for sources, organization and cohesion of the presentation, attention to lexical items, argument and summary with the written opinion on the subject. The teacher will pay special attention to the linguistic means used and their suitability and will encourage error analysis.

2. Analysis and conversational practice.
The characteristics of oral interaction and the dynamics of habitual oral exchanges will be dealt with: register, phraseology, lexical questions related to idiomatic expressions, and their suitability form communication. The teacher will select topics and conversational situations for the student to observe and practise, paying special attention to the linguistic means utilized. The teacher will hand out the programme at the beginning of the course where the subject matters to be used will be listed, and where the content of each session or series of sessions will appear.
- Knowledge and skills to be acquired.
- Text or speech act used as an example, if there is one.
- Questions to acquire the technical-linguistic knowledge on the part of the student.
- Tasks the student must carry out for practise.

Assessment
Depending on the development of the classes the course teacher will make assessments suitable to the development of the student. Class participation will be taken into account along with task fulfilment. At least two exams will be set.

Bibliography
This will be supplied when each subject is specified.

Full Description

1. Introduction

This course will provide to the pupils a scope of reflection and linguistic use with the fundamental objective of which the student becomes qualified for discursive production. The observation on the operation of the speech and analysis of the same one, as much in oral manifestations as in texts written, as well as the integrated adoption of skills, the reference instruments will equip the student such that he can integrate himself in linguistic-discursive production.

For the Hispanic Student track, the professor of the subject will adopt material that corresponds to the objecct of analysis, as well as the explanation of the linguistic contents, that are agreed with the levels Advanced and Superior, according to the following correspondence: Group C corresponds to Advanced B; Group D, to Superior A; Group E, to Superior B.

2. Program

The content of the following blocks is distributed throughout the course, synchronizing the referred oral to the writing, since determined questions (scientific exhibition, argumentation, etc.) affect both:

I. Written production: analysis and production of written text.

As far as the analysis, the activity will be centered on the consideration of the subject, the textual sequences, the discursive connectors, the selection of the lexicon and the registry. Also the information models, etc. Types of texts considered will be diverse. The analysis can also be extended to literary texts, either considered in themselves, or as exemplifiers of some of the previous details.

The linguistic difficulties will be detected and the emission of analyses on the part of the student will be encouraged.

As far as the production of the text, from selected subjects, the student will have to take control of a knowledge of the subject (what he takes attached consultations, synthesis of contents, etc.), to elaborate or outline and to write up.

II. Oral production.

1. Analysis and practices of oral intervention.

Since great part of the alluded to technical questions in the previous section is used for the oral speech in the most formal situations, the analysis activity and putting in practice will be centered now in the "exhibition of a subject" on the part of the students, with special attention to those of academic character. However, variations according to possible subjects, audience will be taken care of or objective (exhibition, persuasion, etc.). This implies: motivation in the election of the subject, search of sources, organization and cohesion of the exhibition, attention to the lexicon, debates and summarize with the opinion written on the subject.

The professor will call attention to used linguistic means and its adjustment, and will cause the analysis of errors.

2. Analysis and conversational practices.

The characteristics of the oral interactions and the dynamics of habitual the oral interchanges will be approached: registries, phraseology, lexical questions related to idioms, becoming to see the pertinence or adjustment for the communication, of the different possibilities from use whereupon count the speaker.

The professor will choose conversational subjects and situations so that the student observes and puts in practice, calling the attention on used linguistic means.

The way in which the professor has distributed the matter will be reflected in the program that will give to the student of the course in the beginning and where it will be pointed out for each session or series of sessions:

Knowledge and skills that are tried to obtain.
Text or used oral intervention for example, as applicable.
Consultations that facilitate technical-linguistic knowledge on the part of the student.
Tasks that make students exercise themselves with the practice.

3. Evaluation

Depending on the same development of the classes, the professor of the subject will propose evaluations adapted to the formation of the student. One will very consider the participation in class and the accomplishment of tasks. They will be made at least, two examinations.

4. Bibliography

It will be gathered when each agenda takes shape.

Original Language Description

1. Introducción

Se proporcionará al alumnado un ámbito de reflexión y uso lingüístico con el objetivo primordial de que se capacite para la producción discursiva. La observación sobre el funcionamiento del discurso y análisis del mismo, tanto en manifestaciones orales como en textos escritos, así como la adopción integrada de destrezas, dotarán al alumno do los instrumentos de control que le permita implicarse en la pretendida producción lingüístico-discursiva.

Para el Curso de Estudios Hispánicos, el profesor de la asignatura adoptará para el grupo correspondiente los materiales objeto de análisis, así como la explicación de los contenidos lingüísticos, que sean acordes con los niveles Avanzado y Superior, según la siguiente correspondencia: el grupo C corresponde a Avanzado B; el grupo D, a Superior A; el grupo E, a Superior B.

2. Programa

Se distribuye a lo largo del curso el contenido de los siguientes bloques, simultaneando lo referido a lo oral y lo escrito, ya que determinadas cuestiones (exposición científica, argumentación, etc.) afectan a ambos:

I. Producción escrita: análisis y producción del texto escrito.

En cuanto al análisis, la actividad se centrará en la consideración del tema, las secuencias textuales, los conectores discursivos, la selección del léxico y el registro. Igualmente los modelos de información, etc. Se tendrán en cuenta diversos tipos de textos. El análisis puede ampliarse también a textos literarios, bien considerados en sí mismos, o bien como ejemplificadores de algunos de los pormenores anteriores.

Se detectarán las dificultades lingüísticas y se fomentará la emisión de juicios críticos por parte del alumno.

En cuanto a la producción del texto, a partir de temas seleccionados, el alumno deberá hacerse con un conocimiento del tema (lo que lleva anejo consultas, síntesis de contenidos, etc.), elaborar u plan-esquema y redactar.

II. Producción oral.

1. Análisis y practica de la intervención oral.

Dado que gran parte de las cuestiones técnicas aludidas en el apartado anterior sirve para el discurso oral en las situaciones más formales, la actividad de análisis y puesta en práctica se centrará ahora en la "exposición de un tema" por parte de los alumnos, con especial atención a aquellos de carácter académico. No obstante, se atenderán variaciones según posibles temas, auditorio u objetivos (exposición, persuasión, etc.). Esto implica: motivación en la elección del tema, búsqueda de fuentes, organización y cohesión de la exposición, atención al léxico, debate y resumen con la opinión escrita sobre el tema.

El profesor llamará la atención sobre los medios lingüísticos empleados y su adecuación, asimismo propiciará el análisis de errores.

2. Análisis y practica conversacional.

Se abordarán las características de las interacciones orales y la dinámica de los intercambios orales habituales: registros, fraseología, cuestiones léxicas relacionadas con idiomatismos, haciéndose ver la pertinencia o adecuación para la comunicación, de la distintas posibilidades de uso con que cuenta el hablante.

El profesor elegirá temas y situaciones conversacionales para que el alumno observe y ponga en práctica, llamando la atención sobre los medios lingüísticos empleados.

El modo en que el profesor haya distribuido la materia quedará reflejado en el programa que entregará al alumno al comienzo del curso y donde se hará constar para cada sesión o serie de sesiones:

Conocimientos y destrezas que se pretenden conseguir.
Texto o intervención oral utilizada como ejemplo, si lo hay.
Consultas que faciliten los conocimientos técnico-lingüísticos por parte del alumno.
Tareas que debe realizar para ejercitarse con la práctica.

3. Evaluación

Dependiendo del desarrollo mismo de las clases, el profesor de la asignatura propondrá evaluaciones adecuadas a la formación del alumno. Se tendrá muy en cuenta la participación en clase y la realización de tareas. Se realizarán al menos, dos exámenes.
