Learning outcomes
The curse aims at developing the written expression in Spanish at various stylistic levels. We will practice basic discursive procedures (description, narration, argumentation, exposition). We will pay a special attention to academic types of text (annotation, summary, summary, synopsis, report, review, etc.), and to those that might be relevant in students' professional life (curriculum vitae, various forms of official and unofficial correspondence, formal applications, affidavits, reports, minutes of meetings, etc.). We will also address theoretically different argumentative procedures, the structuring of the text, and textual and discursive cohesion and coherence. In any case, the emphasis will be on putting these resources and procedures in practice in written texts.
