1. To consolidate and expand on the contents delivered in LXS2028 by looking at more advanced aspects of Galician syntax, morphology and phonetics.
2. To encourage the students' awareness not only of the existence but of the instrumentality of Spain's co-official languages.

Students on this module will be working towards achieving B1 on the Common European Framework of Referencer for Languages (CEFR).

This module aims to consolidate the students' previously acquired basic knowledge of the Galician language through the study of advanced areas of grammar (verbal tenses and moods, discursive links, etc), idiomatic register, and general vocabulary. Through selected in-class texts, students will also be introduced to Galician culture, literature, and sociolinguistics. The course is highly recommended for students who intend to do their year abroad (or part of it) in the historical city of Santiago de Compostela (the capital of Galicia) and its university.
