Description

This course is the first semester of second-year Spanish. Students enrolled in this course should have taken LS102 or the equivalent and be able to use the present, future, preterit and imperfect tenses with some fluency and have a working knowledge of the present subjunctive. This course, taught almost entirely in Spanish, is designed to reinforce grammatical structures introduced in first-year Spanish through activities that practice all four skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing. Attention is given to using command forms and the present subjunctive. Classroom activities and topics are connected to the culture and literature of the Spanish-speaking world as well as to the students' own experiences. Emphasis is placed on speaking and writing in Spanish. Attendance and classroom participation count for seventy percent of the requirement for credit/evaluation.
