This module is mapped against B1 level in Catalan according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
This is a module that combines the learning of Catalan language with key aspects of its society, literature and translation. With regards to the language content, this is the second part of the introductory intensive modules in final year which aim to provide students with a working knowledge of modern Catalan, written and spoken, at a solid B1 level as specified in the Common European Framework of Reference.
As its co-requisite module (CATL322), this module will also approach issues of culture, national identity and current social affairs in Catalonia. The module will include in its core translation of key 20th-century literary texts, which will tackle grammar points such as nominalisations and verbalisations and will also enable students to acquire skills in Catalan language in different registers.
Students will also have the opportunity to achieve an extra qualification by taking the International Catalan Certificate issued by the Institut Ramon Llull and held at the University of Liverpool at the end of the academic year.
