Spanish Course Descriptions
Spanish I-IV
The first year is a two-semester introduction to Spanish language. Students will
study four language skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. The first year
emphasizes basic grammar structure. In addition, the student will become familiar
with the culture of Spanish speaking countries.
The four courses are designed to be an integrated and progressive exposure to
multi-cultural diversity and global communication through language and basic
literature instruction.
Spanish I
The introductory level fosters basic skills in traditional language study: reading,
writing, listening and speaking. At the same time, basic vocabulary and key
cultural elements are introduced to the students.
Spanish II
The second year reinforces and builds upon concepts learned in the previous year.
Reading, writing, listening and speaking remain a focus for this Spanish learner as
he or she continues to concentrate on vocabulary acquisition.
Spanish III-IV (Dual Credit SPAN 102/SPAN 201)
The third and fourth years are designed to put the previously acquired skills into
practice while increasing both vocabulary and the continued use of authentic
conversational and written structures. Literature, over-the-counter magazines/newspapers, TV, videos,
and the Internet are used to provide practical reading and comprehension experiences.
