Description

This course is designed for people who have been studying Spanish and have a good working vocabulary. Students should be familiar with the present, past and future tenses of both regular and irregular verbs. Students will be expected to speak in Spanish as much of the class is taught in Spanish. Students will continue to build their competency in all four language areas: speaking, writing, reading and listening. Class materials come from their textbook, Spanish Now, Level 1 by Ruth Silverstein and Heywood Wald, PH. D, magazines, newspapers, websites and teacher generated worksheets. Students will be expected to print materials at home. Small group discussions and class participation will give the students an opportunity to use their vocabulary and increase their speaking skills.
