    OBJECTIVES
    The aim of this Course is to improve, and develop further, students’ communication skills, paying
    attention to key issues affecting the Grammar of Spanish.

    dimension of Grammar so as to ensure further understanding of the constructions to be employed
    within practical communication.

    rules of Spanish and on their practical application within a series of specific activities.
