Description

This course is a continuation of SPAN301. Students' linguistic skills will be improved and reinforced through extended readings, written assignments and aural/oral activities in class. Grammar will be taught in a cultural content-based context. By the end of this course, students will have a broader knowledge of Hispanic cultures; students will be able to communicate more effectively (orally and in writing) with native and other competent speakers.

This course is a continuation of Span301 that requires prior knowledge of Spanish. The main objective of Span302 is to give students advanced proficiency in Spanish across the four skills (speaking, listening, reading, and writing). Students will practice complex aspects of Spanish grammar, and idiomatic expressions in their writing and oral skills. Grammar will also be learned from a communicative approach based on a contextual-interactive classroom structure. The  main language course requirements include compositions, listening and reading comprehension activities, and oral presentations.
