The course SPAN 3002 is a language course in the Undergraduate programme in Spanish at the University of the West Indies (UWI), in Trinidad and Tobago. This course uses as a reference the descriptors for level C1+ of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: learning, teaching, assessment. 

The university required us to link the Learning Outcomes of each course, with the objectives of the programme and the qualities of the distictive UWI graduate.

Below, I am listing the Learning outcomes of this Spanish course mentioned above:
