INTERMEDIATE SPANISH II

PREREQUISITE: MLSP2001, GRADE OF C- OR BETTER
As a continuation of Intermediate Spanish I, this course is part of a proficiency-bases language program designed to provide maximum opportunities for students to develop functional listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in intermediate Spanish.
The goal of the course is the acquisition of a useful, communicative command of the language at a low level on the national scale, as established by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages and the Education Testing Service. This goal will be realized through maximum exposure to authentic target-language input (oral and visual), active oral and written practice of real-life language tasks or functions (e.g., conversing with an exchange student, going to the bank, using the telephone, going to the doctor’s office, etc.), and exploration of cultural subtleties conveyed by language, thought, and customs.
