It is taught as a 2-credit module, totalling 60 hours, comprising 16 hours of lectures, 14 hours of practical work and 30 hours of independent study. The course concludes with an examination. ‘Theoretical and Practical Phonetics of the Spanish Language’ is one of the core standard linguistic subjects in the professional training of future philologists. It covers the phonetics, orthography, spelling, vocabulary and grammar of the Spanish language. The course provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the phonetic structure of the Spanish language.

The course consists of three content modules. Forms of continuous assessment: oral responses, written homework assignments, module test. Forms of module assessment: module test. Final assessment: conducted in the form of a comprehensive examination

The final mark for the content module is calculated by adding the mark for ongoing performance to the mark for the module assessment: Written homework assignments + oral response + module assessment: (max. 30, min. 18). Students who have scored a total of fewer points across the two modules than the critical minimum of 36 points will not be permitted to sit the exam. For students who have not reached the minimum threshold mark during the semester, a final semester assessment is held at the end of the semester, or essays and presentations on course topics are assessed. The maximum mark for additional forms of assessment may not exceed 40% of the maximum total marks for the semester – 24 marks. The final semester mark is composed of the marks obtained by the student during the semester and the marks obtained in the exam. The maximum weighting is distributed as follows: 60 marks (60%) – semester assessments and 40 marks (40%) – the exam.
