BARCSPAN 301 - Advanced Spanish

Institution:

Arcadia University

Subject:

Description:

An intensive advanced course in Spanish language which covers material traditionally taught over two semesters of advanced Spanish (300-level). After having reviewed the fundamental elements studied in the preceding levels, this course analyzes grammatical structures at an advanced level of Spanish. In particular, the course will focus on grammatical and lexical themes previously discussed, with a particular look at stylistic structures in the written and spoken word, both at advanced levels. The focus is on the diverse linguistic, contextual, and colloquial situations within different categories of use, such as the spoken standard, colloquial and formal usages, youth slang, and the written word at different levels and in different sectors (literary, journalistic, Internet, etc.), modern and classic literature. In this course, the student should begin to more readily manage abstract and theoretical topics, such as relationships, current events, family situations, etc. At the end of the course, the students will have acquired a linguistic ability that allows them to be able to interact in various "authentic" real-world situations. Students will also have developed the ability to use communicative strategies applied within the following contexts: reception (framing; revising hypotheses etc.); production (planning; compensating; self-correction etc.); and, interaction (co-operating; giving or asking for clarification etc.).
