BARCSPAN 201 - Intermediate Spanish

Institution:

Arcadia University

Subject:

Description:

An intensive, 6-credit, intermediate course in Spanish language which covers material traditionally taught over two semesters of intermediate Spanish. After a general review aimed at reinforcing language skills and filling in possible gaps, the course will focus on the new material. The new grammar contents will be introduced within specific contexts, as either dialogues or short readings that will highlight cultural aspects. Grammar explanations, drill exercises and performance types of activities, all conducted in Spanish, will follow. Students are often expected to work in groups or in pairs with teacher support; interaction and participation in class are encouraged in various ways: through role-playing, simulations, presentations, games etc. In this perspective, the syllabus is designed to develop language skills in relation to specific situations or contexts. 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 these courses are taught through cultural and real-life experience on-site in Barcelona. (Barcelona, Spain, http://www.arcadia.edu/abroad/esBarcelona)
