This course is designed as a review of some of the more difficult (and more interesting) grammatical structures in Spanish, to enable students to fine tune their Spanish grammar and establish more idiomatic, native-like structures. At the same time, the course will introduce students to basic concepts in linguistic analysis, as a key to obtaining better understanding of these structures. Extensive use will be made of audio visual materials, as well as Spanish literature, to broaden the students' exposure to Spanish as used in the real world. Postgraduate students are expected to apply appropriate linguistic terminology in oral and written communication.
