What Upper Intermediate (B2) Spanish means

At B2 Spanish, learners can communicate fluently on concrete and abstract topics, develop arguments and respond in detail.

  • Support a viewpoint

    Aunque la medida supusiera un coste inicial, a largo plazo beneficiaría a toda la comunidad.

    Although the measure would have an initial cost, it would benefit the whole community in the long term.

  • Discuss an abstract issue

    La tecnología facilita la comunicación, pero también plantea dudas sobre la privacidad.

    Technology makes communication easier, but it also raises questions about privacy.

  • Negotiate a solution

    Si ampliamos el plazo una semana, podemos mantener el presupuesto sin reducir la calidad.

    If we extend the deadline by a week, we can keep the budget without reducing quality.

These are general examples of language use at this level, not a description of any individual course syllabus.

About this course

The course examines Spanish paintings and sculptures from the Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque periods, considering their artistic innovations and connections with earlier styles and wider European art.

Teaching centres on spoken interaction, with pair and group work, role plays, games, presentations, hand-outs and audio-visual resources. The course also includes a visit to the National Gallery, and homework is recommended to consolidate learning.
