Intermediate Spanish II
SPAN 302 is an Intermediate-level course in applied Spanish grammar that picks up where SPAN 301 leaves off, and continues students’ deepening of oral and written communication skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing), intercultural knowledge, and awareness of how language works in specific texts and contexts, representative of the Hispanic World. Homework assignments will emphasize students’ engagement with personal learning strategies and focus on developing their familiarity with the themes and vocabulary and grammatical structures used in the weekly lessons. In-class activities will prioritize collaborative learning, guided conversation, and student-led activities. Each week will close with in-class preparation for the brief listening and writing portions in the homework activities and global course assessments.
