LSPA 0516 - Intensive Spanish Conversation


Credits: 3

Focuses on helping students improve their conversational skills through active participation in discussions, debates and oral presentations in class.  It also seeks to build students’ oral proficiency at the advanced high/superior level according to the guidelines established by A.C.T.F.L. (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) while increasing their awareness of Hispanic cultures through various forms of cultural production. This course will provide students with a contextualized content-based approach to oral communication resulting in a fluent oral language production. Even though the emphasis of this course is on oral proficiency and not on grammar, syntax, reading or writing, some reading, writing and listening are also practiced.
