This introductory, fully immersive course teaches foundational grammar and vocabulary in meaningful contexts and introduces the geography and cultures of the diverse Spanish-speaking world. Communicative activities and assignments build listening, reading, writing, and speaking skills. Authentic multimedia materials help students learn about and value cultural perspectives other than their own. SPN 101-102 are taken consecutively.

The second half of the year-long introductory, fully immersive course continues to build foundational grammar and vocabulary in meaningful contexts and introduce the geography and cultures of the diverse Spanish-speaking world. Listening, reading, writing, and speaking skills are built through communicative activities and authentic materials. Students who complete this sequence learn about and value cultural perspectives other than their own.

This course is designed for learners with some Spanish language background for whom 101 is too introductory but who are not yet ready for Intermediate Spanish. After a brief review of present-tense verbs, the course focuses on past-tense narration, reflexive and object pronouns, commands, and the subjunctive mood. Students are immersed in Spanish, including cultural content, and speaking proficiency is prioritized.

This class provides students with the opportunity to learn a full year of Spanish in six weeks with the advantage of intensive study, which promotes greater retention. Students will practice verb conjugations and usage, gain proficiency skills, and learn key grammatical concepts.
