Spanish in Context: Practicing Advanced Grammar

In this practice-based course, students who have a genuine interest in acquiring a deeper knowledge of grammar will be challenged to take control of their Spanish. Through a variety of tasks designed to contextualize and problematize key grammatical points—including both input and output in spoken and written language—we will not only work to improve linguistic competency but will also confront important issues dealing with interactional, intercultural, and metalinguistic competencies. Students will be expected to draw from their experiences with Spanish in and out of the classroom at Middlebury. (This is a half credit course.)
