A deepening of the student’s mastering of Spanish vocabulary and grammar that builds on one year of immersion-style Spanish conversation practice and grammar/vocabulary study. Spanish 4 will have a big component on written and oral expression with writing reports, oral presentations, and recitations in Spanish.
As we seek mastery of Spanish this year, each class will include a mixture of speaking, listening, reading and writing on the part of both the instructor and student. Students are encouraged to speak Spanish as much as possible in the classroom. The instructor will speak in Spanish for the majority of the course, but will speak English for explaining difficult grammar or answering student questions. Striving for immersion will improve skills rapidly and is attainable to the motivated learner of any level, especially closer to the end of the year of Spanish study. _ _ There will be times when a student might not understand every word spoken, but we will strive to improve our listening skills and identify with travelers and immigrants who face the humility of language learning daily. Humility, patience, perseverance, and courage will serve you well in your language learning adventure!
