Spanish in Context: Advancing Your Proficiency
Given that Spanish 277 embraces the communicative language method, emphasizing the four language skills and consisting of a student-centered classroom where all identities and voices are valued and heard, students are expected to study grammar and vocabulary at home so that they can use the target language during class in a meaningful and real-world way to not only fulfill communicative objectives and increase their proficiency "across the board," but to also think critically, heighten their cross-cultural awareness, and promote a strong sense of community and teamwork.
