SESSION COURSES

SPANISH 300 LEVEL COURSE

This course will count as a Spanish 300 elective course requirement for the Spanish for the professions minor, but could vary in content from year to year.  Regardless of the focus of the course, it will use a variety of documents (text, movies, articles, media videos, and essays) as a basis for reviewing grammatical concepts and vocabulary related to all Spanish for the professions tracks, while developing writing competency, refining analytical skills, and improving overall communication abilities in Spanish. Through work on different types of documents, this course continues to focus on refining the four language skills of reading, writing, speaking, and listening, as well as further developing critical analytical capacities. With the readings and films, students will explore their socio-historical context and analyze the application of different linguistic structures as tools employed to make meaningful communication. Students will be expected to do a significant amount of reading, speaking and writing.
