Description

The aim of this course is to give students advanced proficiency in Spanish across the four skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing). The course also introduces students to the history and culture of the different Hispanic countries. By the end of this course students will be able to recognise a variety of discourses and idiomatic expressions as well as communicate at an advanced level in Spanish.

Expectations
It is expected that the student will attend class regularly and will have completed the reading assignments that concern each topic to be discussed in each class. It is also expected that you complete all other assignments related to this course.

Note on attendance:  Languages are learned by doing, and the tutorial-style sessions in this course are designed to create an atmosphere in which students can try out their language skills on each other.  If you do not attend regularly and do not keep up with the work, you will therefore not only be cheating yourself, but you will also be holding back the other students with whom you are working.

Outcomes
By the end of this course, it is expected that the student will possess a greater command of the Spanish language and upper level grammatical knowledge as well as increased confidence in his/her ability to speak and write in Spanish.
