SPAN202

SPAN 202 is the second course in the FHIS Department’s Elementary Spanish language sequence. The course builds on elementary Spanish skills, emphasizing cultural fluency alongside language proficiency. Students enrolled will demonstrate their ability to read, write, listen to and discuss context specific cultural topics such as travel, inclusive education, food justice, technology and social media, and community engagement.  Students will also learn to navigate simple and compound verb tenses in the present, past, and future, and modes of speaking (i.e., the imperative, the subjunctive) to give recommendations, and express wishes, feelings and doubts in real and hypothetical situations.  This course will include a wide range of literary and cultural mediums (i.e., music, visual arts, podcasts, and short narratives and films) to broaden students’ understanding of intercultural topics related to the Spanish-speaking world.  Course learning goals and assignments aim to build toward more advanced language and literature courses in our program.  Students may speak to an advisor to learn more about our comprehensive programs or read more about our programs here.

The design and structure of this course are founded on adaptive and inclusive principles of teaching and learning that consider the interests and needs of all learners and strive toward greater personalization of learning, flexibility and accessibility for all students, including students with disabilities.
