Using an integrated approach, this course develops listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in a cultural context. It begins with a basic vocabulary and grammar review and then introduces new materials. Class sessions are in Spanish, and the language is actively used in communicative and creative activities. Students develop writing skills through composition and read short cultural and literary texts to foster vocabulary acquisition and improve reading strategies. Lectures introduce and clarify grammatical structures. After SPAN 1120, students may take SPAN 1230, SPAN 2070, or SPAN 2090 depending on their LPS score at the end of the course.
