Primary emphasis will be placed on effective oral communication, but students will also practice conversation skills (with a focus on building their active vocabulary), study the more advanced aspects of Spanish grammar, begin to learn advanced writing techniques, improve listening comprehension abilities, and explore the diversity of Spanish-speaking communities through class discussions, a combination of short non-fiction and literary readings, and cultural projects. The course will emphasize the multiple cultural perspectives inherent in the Hispanic world, fostering students’ ability to appreciate the complexities of diverse cultural backgrounds. Three class hours per week plus regular out of class conversational and cultural events.
