SPAN - 201. Intermediate Spanish I

3 credit(s)
This intensive course develops and improves language skills as per ACTFL Standards: listening, speaking, reading, writing, and cultural literacy. Along with reviewing the grammar that will be covered from the text, students will practice listening and speaking skills through several short oral projects, participate in ongoing conversation in class, listen to music, view film clips, and read websites from Spanish-speaking countries. Students will gain a better understanding of the language system and sharpen skills to get involved in real communication. Students will develop reading and writing skills through short compositions and exercises and cultural competency by continued emphasis on cultural, historical, socio-political realities of the Spanish-speaking countries. To accomplish these objectives, the instructor will implement a communication-based methodology that requires active student participation in class and previous preparation for each class.
