The course is completely immersive and students are expected to read, write, and speak Spanish with moderate level skill. Students will engage in intense language acquisition through listening, reading, speaking, writing, and culture. Students are encouraged to communicate in Spanish using vocabulary and grammar from previous levels of study. Students will perform assessments and create projects to build upon and improve communication skills in the Spanish language. Students will also work to analyze, debate, and discuss a variety of contemporary issues and texts in Spanish to build interpretive listening and reading skills and to refine interpersonal and intercultural competence in speaking and writing.
