Spanish - Accelerated Second Year I

The Spanish Intermediate sequence of courses is designed for students who have developed conversational Spanish language skills.  Communication in class takes place entirely in Spanish.  These courses build upon previous work to strengthen communication skills and fluency in Spanish. Students must know the mechanics of sentence structure; know the present and past tense conjugations for regular and irregular verbs (indicative mode) and be able to use them in conversation and writing activities.

The focus of this course will be on using acquired language skills (sentence structure, verb conjugation, and grammatical rules) in conversational and writing activities in class. A general review of selected topics will include: ser-estar; pronombres directos-indirectos-reflexivos; diferencia pretarito-imperfecto, and presente-pasado perfecto; and other topics as needed. Students should be able to engage in basic conversations and be able to understand and convey information in Spanish about themselves and their everyday activities.

The fall and winter accelerated second year sequence is the equivalent of a complete second year Spanish sequence.
