Using an integrated approach in small classes, this course develops listening, speaking, reading, and writing in a cultural context. The course begins with a fast-paced review of Spanish 1210 and then introduces new material. Class sessions are conducted entirely in Spanish and the language is actively used in communicative, creative and critical thinking activities. Students read cultural and literary texts to foster vocabulary acquisition, complete analytical exercises, and develop reading strategies. Students continue developing writing skills by writing and editing compositions. Lectures introduce and clarify grammatical structures. Daily preparation and active participation are required. After 1220, students may take SPAN 1230 , SPAN 2070, or SPAN 2090 depending on their LPS score which is the final exam.
