Description | This course is the second semester of first-year Spanish and students enrolled in this course should have taken LS101 or the equivalent. This class is taught almost entirely in Spanish and focuses on speaking and using the target language. Students entering this level should be able to use the present, future (ir + a + infinitive) and preterit with some fluency and accuracy. Attention is given to building accuracy with grammatical structures introduced in LS101 and focuses on the differences between the preterit and imperfect tenses along with an introduction to present subjunctive. More sophisticated grammar is also introduced in this course. All four skill areas (speaking, listening, reading and writing) are practiced through activities that are based on real-life situations, the online course website and the students' experiences. Classroom attendance and classroom participation count for seventy percent of the requirement for credit/evaluation. |
