Conversational Spanish II
This second year conversational-Spanish sequence is designed for students who have been exposed to a minimum of 150 hrs of conversation (CEFR A2/B1) and wish to expand in their communicative competencies. It offers a combination of instructor-facilitated, small-group discussions, peer review projects, debates, interviews, and brief presentations around topics such as the view of the Hispanic world on global warming, technology and health, amongst other relevant topics. Special guests are a key element in this course, so students can deepen their skills as they expand their awareness through active participation.
Grammar will only be reviewed through context study, emphasizing on the topics of relative pronouns, compound tenses – both in indicative and subjunctive mood, and the use of all conditional sentences.
High attendance throughout the class, and a continuous collaborative environment is vital for the success in this course.
The Department of FHIS reserves the right to refuse enrollment to any of its language courses to a student who has, in the view of the Department, a level of competence unsuited to that course. Enrollment at or below the level the student has already attained is not permitted.
