Description

This course is designed for people who have some knowledge of Spanish or took Spanish 1 during the winter/spring 2021 trimester. Students should be familiar with basic vocabulary, greetings, and some general grammar concepts. In addition, participants need to have a working knowledge of regular and irregular verb conjugations in the present tense. Participants will be expected to speak Spanish as much as possible and will be using the text Spanish Now, Level 1 (eighth edition) by Ruth Silverstein and Heywood Wald, PH.D. In this class, all four language abilities will be touched upon: speaking, listening, reading and writing. Materials for this class will come from the text, websites and teacher-generated worksheets. Small group discussions will give the students an opportunity to use their acquired vocabulary. During this trimester several new tenses will be introduced. In addition to the text, a three-ring binder and a Spanish-English dictionary are recommended. No class 11/11 & 11/25.
