This course is built on the subjects and skills covered in the previous course 'Advanced Spanish for Specific Purposes I' but at a more advanced level. The main target is to provide students with the chance to apply their newly acquired knowledge in a wide variety of situations through realistic tasks, oral interaction in pairs and group work, role playing, presentations, etc. Authentic reading and audiovisual materials are also used throughout the course. In addition, students will analyze and practice advanced grammatical skills in order to develop a higher proficiency in speaking and writing. By the end of the course, students should be able to understand long articles related to cultural and business topics, to use Spanish effectively and precisely for social and professional purposes, and to develop an understanding of Hispanic culture, society, and business practices.
