This module is mapped against A1 level in Basque according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
BASQ322 offers final-year students the opportunity to take an ab initio course in Basque language complemented with the study in depth of significant aspects of Basque society and culture that have not specifically been addressed in any other module throughout their degrees.
The language course is based on the use of BOGA, a multimedia system for learning Basque on the Internet and provided to the University of Liverpool by the Basque Institute Etxepare. Students work on their own on BOGA, and the aim of the lectures and seminars is to reinforce and enhance the last grammar and vocabulary elements learnt from BOGA and to practice them in listening, reading, writing and speaking activities.
