PSLI Intensive Spanish I

4 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

Along with SPAN 1200 and SPAN 1500 , this course was originally developed for Patuxent students and assumes a certain level of motivation to learn languages. In this introductory course, students will fulfill their needs to 1) develop their ability to communicate satisfactorily in Spanish in everyday practical situations that may occur either here in the U.S or abroad, 2) to acquire some of the skills necessary for effective reading in Spanish, and 3) to write Spanish with a satisfactory level of accuracy. Students will be exposed to aspects of Hispanic culture via videos and written texts. Three key components that will assist students to attain these three goals are vocabulary, language awareness, and practice/participation.
