- enable students to express ideas and opinions on current issues and events and in response to written and spoken cultural texts
- enhance learners' communicative competence and collaborative learning skills, through participation in activities involving exposure to a variety of authentic materials and group or pair interaction

On completion of this topic students will be able to:
- interpret extended speech in Spanish following complex lines of argument
- participate in conversations with fluency and spontaneity
- read, interpret, paraphrase and summarise articles, reports and, in general, argumentative texts concerned with contemporary issues
