COURSE DESCRIPTION

 

In this class students will build upon the basic knowledge they already have of the Spanish language. They will continue to develop their vocabulary and grammar skills, as well as use more complex tenses and structures. 

In class, we will cover the Present, Past, and the Imperfect tenses. The focus of this class will be on speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Classes will be interactive providing opportunities for students to practice their vocabulary and speaking skills.  Students will  listen to music and watch videos in Spanish to hear real accents and dialogue. In addition, students will be expected to participate on a daily basis. Participation and studying outside of the classroom is a huge part of being successful in Spanish 2.
