The lessons focus on the communicative teaching of the language. They emphasize language acquisition through meaningful learning situations that align knowledge with the development of skills: reading, listening, writing, and speaking. By the end of the course, students will be able to understand sentences and expressions related to areas of immediate relevance; they will be able to communicate in simple daily tasks that require a straightforward and direct exchange of information on familiar topics; and they will also be capable of describing, in simple terms, aspects of their background, environment, and areas of immediate need.
