3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

SPAN-199 is the first part of the SPAN-199/SPAN-204 two-semester course designed for students who have learned Spanish at home or in informal contexts, and have completed high school or formal education in English . The main goal for this course is the development of the student's bilingual range to achieve communicative, linguistic and sociolinguistic competence in speaking, listening, reading and writing academic Spanish. Special emphasis will be given to the development of writing skills appropriate for academic and professional situations. A multi-faceted approach to the language will help the student gain a solid grasp of the Spanish language and all of its varieties and awareness of the diversity of the Hispanic communities both here in the US as well as in the Spanish-speaking world. Students may complete both or only one course.
