Students become actively involved in learning to use the reviewed material with
added depth in a variety of guided activities. New linguistic material will also be
introduced. The review and new material introduction entails instructor
presentation, explanation, and illustration that are often enhanced by technology.
Grammar topics: The present/past perfect; the present perfect subjunctive; the
future; the future perfect; the past subjunctive; the conditional; the conditional
perfect; the past perfect subjunctive; SI clauses
ACTFL: Intermediate Low Level (IL)

of guided activities that include but are not limited to the following:
 Identification of correct forms within structured exercises
