Institution:

Subject:

Description:

An intensive Spanish language course which covers material traditionally taught in second-semester beginner and first-semester intermediate Spanish; it is ideal for students who have taken one prior 3- or 4-credit course in beginner Spanish. After a general review aimed at reinforcing language skills and filling in possible gaps, the course will focus on the new material. Various linguistic and communicative forms will be presented within real-life situations in relation to social and cultural aspects of Spanish life. Group activities will stimulate interaction in class, self-correction and cooperation among students. Paper material, as well as audio material, will provide for a better approach to the language and to its cultural and social aspects. This course seeks to reinforce and augment skills previously acquired at the more basic levels. In addition, it encourages the use of more advanced forms of communication - not only for the basic structures and interactions of everyday life, but also to begin expressing opinions, preferences, etc. A rich cultural activities' series outside of the classroom, utilizing various linguistic and communicative forms, will be presented, allowing students to apply their skills and learn from real-life situations in relation to social and cultural aspects of Spanish life. At least 10 hours of this course are taught on-site in Barcelona sampling real-life situations. (Barcelona, Spain, http://www.arcadia.edu/abroad/esBarcelona)
