Overview

This course is designed to consolidate and extend the language skills acquired in the second year courses (SP 2019, Level 2 Advanced Introductory Spanish, and SP 2018, Level 2 Spanish Language 1), and prepare students for residence abroad in a Spanish speaking country. The course aims to develop students' skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening to Spanish, continuing to provide a strong grammar base, and a variety of exercises are designed to develop further familiarity with different registers and varieties of Peninsular and Latin-American Spanish. These core elements of the course will be complemented by the analysis of audio-visual material, and small-group oral classes. Overall, the course aims to strike a balance between an analytical, reflective approach to learning and the development of communicative fluency.
