Advanced Intermed Spanish: Resources for Communication

This course will stress the expansion of the student's active communicational skills at the third-year level (e.g. vocabulary and lexical). Classroom activities will center on a thorough review of the most important aspects of Spanish (grammar, morphological, syntax, vocabulary, pronunciation...), as well as active oral use of the language. The oral exercises will expose students to extended discourse and will develop content and context as appropriate for students moving from the intermediate to the advanced proficiency levels. The explanations will be complemented by extensive oral and written exercises in contextualized and communication-based activities. This approach, together with the other courses taught at the third-year level as well as the linguistic experiences the student has outside of the classroom, will provide immediate reinforcement of new content and are intended to maximize the student's linguistic competence. This course meets for two hours each day. (1 unit)
