This course provides a thorough review of grammar and methodical practice in composition leading to command of practical idioms and vocabulary. Additionally, students in this course will develop an understanding and awareness of the Spanish-speaking world’s diverse cultures through the study of journalistic and literary works and other works of art created by authors and artists from Spain and Latin America. Students will continue the development of the four language skills: listening, writing, speaking, and reading. Authentic materials are often used to practice these skills in the classroom.  Group discussions, songs, movies, magazines, newspapers, and the internet are all used to help students broaden their vocabulary, increase fluency, and deepen their knowledge of Spanish grammar.
