Course overview
This course builds on the skills that students mastered in the intermediate language courses (SPAN 2101 and SPAN 2102). The emphasis of this course will be on the further development of oral and written skills. Students completing this course will acquire a basic level of fluency that will allow them to participate in conversations with native speakers and other students of the Spanish language. Different from early courses, in this one the teaching staff will emphasise the writing of more complex paragraphs, compositions, and documents, and work on the students ability to report back in oral form on the documents they write. Lectures and tutorials will be conducted in 100% in Spanish and students will be expected to actively contribute to discussions and exercises in the Spanish language.
