Intermediate Spanish II Syllabus

Intermediate Spanish II Syllabus

This class will endeavour to use the basic skills you learned in Spanish 1010, 1020, and 2010 to a higher level of communicative competence. The grammar rules, which you learned in the elementary classes, will be highlighted again, together with additional rules. The grammar, with additional vocabulary, is essential for building the basic skills for communication. Also, Spanish 2020 will require more reading in dealing with Spanish and Latin American cultures. You will find that reading not only reinforces the other basic skills in learning the language, but also enhances knowledge of the many societies where Spanish is spoken.

Class attendance is required and due to the nature of language learning, essential for the success of learning Spanish. You should prepare all material assigned for each class. If being absent for a class is necessary, you are still responsible for all work covered. I strongly recommend that you get a classmate’s phone number so that you will be prepared for class in case of absence.
 

Tests:

Tests will be given after each chapter is covered. If you must miss a test, let me know ahead of time so that you can arrange a time with me to take the test as soon as possible. There will be no final exam, but the last exam will be given on the date of the final exam.
