1.0 ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY
The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), the world’s largest university, was established
by an Act of Parliament in 1985 to advance and disseminate learning and knowledge by a diversity of
means, including the use of ICT, to provide opportunities for higher education to a larger segment of the
population and to promote the educational well being of the community, to encourage the Open University
and the distance education systems in the educational pattern of the country and to coordinate and
determine the standards in such system.
IGNOU has contributed significantly to higher education, community education and continual
professional development using all possible media and means for this. As a world leader in distance
education, it has been conferred the Centre of Excellence Award in Distance Education and the Award
of Excellence for Distance Education Materials by the Commonwealth of Learning (COL), Canada.
IGNOU has nearly 3 million students on its rolls and a dense network of 56 Regional Centers and over
3,000 Study Centers across the country to assist students. The University has introduced online admission
for students. They can register online, upload the documents required for the admission and pay their
fees online and thus enter the IGNOU database smoothly.
IGNOU is the national coordinator for the Study Web of Active Learning by Young Aspiring Minds
(SWAYAM) – a project that offers Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). IGNOU is preparing to
add a large number of MOOCs to the SWAYAM platform and rapidly reach out to rural areas. As part
of its new initiative the IGNOU is planning to set up Digital Learning Centers (DLCs) in many rural
and semiurban areas to increase IGNOU’s reach. IGNOU is also augmenting Gyan Darshan telecast
and Gyan Vani broadcast and effectively use them for nationwide academic counselling thus providing
quality teaching support across the country surmounting, in this process, all kinds of physical, social
and economic barriers.
These foreign language(s) programmes are offered at Certificate and Diploma level to capacitate the
students professionally in today’s job market. The Research programmes develop the critical thinking
skills of the students and their intellectual & analytical capacities. The School also offers programmes
specific to the requirements of organizations like the Indian Air Force.
By offering a world class, need-based education and training in foreign languages and cultures, the
School of Foreign Languages intends, on the one hand, to develop students’ communicative abilities in
their chosen language(s), and on the other, to inculcate cultural understanding and inter-cultural
communication in students through the study of language, literature, civilization, and cultures so that
the students are trained to enter the global society. The curriculum of these foreign language(s)
programmes not only includes language and literature but also integrates cultural studies in its curriculum
with the aim to provide not only competency in these languages but also knowledge of their rich cultures.
This will broaden students’ perception and help them appreciate and be sensitive to societies other than
their own.
5
The study of foreign languages is gaining a lot of importance in academic studies, and the demand is
growing continuously. This is primarily because the career prospects immensely increase with the
knowledge of a foreign language.
The curriculum of this programme has been designed in alignment with the “Plan Curricular del Instituto
Cervantes (PCIC)” and is based on the principles set by the Common European Framework of Reference
for Languages (CEFRL) formulated by the Council of Europe. It is expected that those taking part in
this programme will achieve the A1 level of communicative competence.
On completing the Proficiency Level, students should be able to acquire the communicative abilities of
native speakers of Spanish. In keeping with a simple, easy-to-follow structure which allows students to
complete learning units in short periods of study time, this programme is sub-divided into courses
which are further broken into blocks and units. Each unit has several self-evaluating communicative
exercises that assess performance on material already covered as well as ‘End of Unit Task’ to be
corrected by the tutor in which students put all the course content they have learned to use into practice.
The self-learning instructional manual has been designed in such a way that the students are encouraged
to speak the language the very first moment. Therefore, we expect from the students a high degree of
interaction with their classmates as well as with the teacher himself during the contact sessions.
One of the main aims of this programme is to educate students about the culture of Spanish-speaking
countries. By incorporating materials from different socio-cultural sources, such as the press, literature,
cinema, music and others, the courses provide a realistic reflection of Hispanic culture and society in
all their rich variety.
The self-learning instructional manual also contains supplementary materials which allow students to
consult and practice specific linguistic items: grammar, vocabulary, phonetics, spelling, etc.
Specific Objectives: By the time they have finished the level, students should be able to develop the
following skills:
• listening comprehension (understanding simple phrases and sentences relating to daily life);
6
• oral expression and interaction (communicate using social simple formulas to perform simple
tasks, asking and giving basic personal information, personal experiences, opinions and feelings,
facts and events of everyday life);
• reading comprehension (understanding short texts -informative descriptive or narrative- and
understand main ideas);
• written expression (brief, simple texts on familiar, everyday topics, such as postcards, letters,
messages and forms, with short, basic sentences, using the most usual connectors to construct
sentences for the purposes of writing stories or descriptions); and
• communication strategies (maintaining communication, understand basic texts and extract
information and extract basic information from oral and written texts, etc.)
To successfully complete the programme, you will have to earn 16 credits. Distribution of credits is as
follows:
Each course is further divided into various blocks based on themes and sub-themes.
Maximum: 02 years
7
4.1 Course contents: It involves
Basics of Spanish Language and Culture-I (BSL-001): This course features basic Spanish language
structures in order to enable the learner to communicate in every-day settings, with elementary vocabulary,
themes and issues by means of simple texts, grammatical structures and socio-cultural information
related to the Spanish-speaking world. After successfully completing this course, students should be
able to achieve A1.1 level of proficiency.
Basics of Spanish Language and Culture-II (BSL-002): The second course consolidates the previous
level material and encompasses an expansion of linguistic skills and socio-cultural information of the
Hispanic world. Students are advised to begin this course only after completing the first course, i.e.
BSL-001. By the end of this course, students are expected to achieve the A1.2 level of communicative
competence.
During these contact sessions you will be guided by your teacher to learn different foreign language
learning strategies. You will also be assessed during these sessions, particularly the listening and speaking
skills to facilitate your communicative competence. So don’t forget to attend your contact sessions as
missing these sessions will hamper your progress.
