Module LXS-2029:
Galician II

Galician II 2022-23
LXS-2029
2022-23
School Of Arts, Culture And Language
Module - Semester 2
20 credits
Module Organiser: Xoan Lorenzo
Overview

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.
