SPN 201 Intermediate Spanish I

The course is meant to reinforce a student’s existing knowledge of Spanish and to expand it, fostering communication skills in the language through: comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing. In all class activities, we pay close attention to grammatical accuracy, correct pronunciation/orthography and learning new vocabulary in order to achieve proficiency on the intermediate level. More in-depth cultural information about Spain and Latin American countries constitutes the background for class activities and allows the understanding of dialectal differences in Spanish and the realities of native Spanish speakers. Students with questions about their language level are strongly advised to consult the instructor before signing up for this class. Meets the humanities general education requirement.
