SPANISH II

Prerequisite: Satisfactory performance on the UCHS Spanish Proficiency Test is required for placement into Spanish II. Spanish II builds upon information acquired in Spanish 1. The course will also work to reinforce the four language skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. Spanish II will provide opportunities to explore and learn the Spanish language and culture. Students will continue to build upon reading and writing abilities as well as speaking and listening comprehension skills. Emphasis will be placed on perfecting pronunciation, mastery of the basic grammatical structures and increased communicative proficiency. (This is a year-long course.)

SPANISH III

Prerequisite: Spanish II. Spanish III builds on the principles taught in Spanish II in order to develop speaking, reading, listening and writing skills more fully. The curriculum for Spanish III is intended to engage students in communication with spoken and written language entirely in Spanish. Through the study of thematic vocabulary and more advanced grammatical structures, students will be able to imitate appropriate gestures, intonation, and common idiomatic expressions through relevant social interaction. Students will also read selected literature in order to sharpen their comprehension skills. A strong emphasis will be placed on culturally authentic real-world interactions. (Fall Only)
