Spanish 2 is a Blended Learning course with digital learning combined with three periods of campus training at OsloMet and two at the University of Valencia (Spain). Didactics and Literature of Spanish starts with a 1-3 days face-to-face training in Oslo, followed by online training, one week face-to face training in Valencia, and a final 1‒3 days’ face-to-face training in Oslo.

We will work from a communicative approach, giving priority to the acquisition of skills in the teaching of Spanish as a Second Language, and will employ a mixed methodology (classroom and online) through the creation of a virtual space in a networked platform. In this way, tasks and assessments will be carried out from different methodological approaches that students can subsequently apply in their daily teaching.

The following coursework requirements must be approved before the student can take the exam:

1. 80 % attendance and participation in lessons and debate forums suggested by the teacher.

2. Presentation of a digital portfolio that includes the following oral and written tasks

   1. Individual presentation of a classroom activity with the use of ICT for the defined target group (10 minutes)
   2. Individual elaboration of a book trailer of a literary text (3-4 minutes)
   3. Individual written assignment on an authentic text from the course curriculum of 1000 words
   4. Reflection note on own practice of teaching literature (350-500 words)
   5. Creation and elaboration of one audiovisual document to assess progress and skills.

The coursework requirements may be revised once if the first version is not approved. See point 8 in the programme description for more information about coursework requirements.

The final examination consists of two parts:

1. An individual online oral exam including the presentation of a lesson plan (30 minutes), counting 50 %.
2. An individual online written exam of 2 hours presenting the reflexion of the learning process (1000 words +/- 10 %), counting 50 %.

The exam is in Spanish.

New/postponed exam

The resit/rescheduled exam is organised in the same way as the ordinary exam. If a student fails one part of the exam, only this part (oral or written) has to be retaken.

All examination support material is permitted.

A grade scale with A being the highest grade and E the poorest pass grade is used. The grade F means that the student has failed the exam.

The exam will be assessed by two internal examiners. An external programme supervisor is affiliated with the course in accordance with the Guidelines for Appointment and Use of Examiners at OsloMet.
