Course Description
This course treats all language learning skills: listening, speaking, writing, and reading. Students learn to manipulate structural patterns of Spanish

question/answer exchanges, oral proficiency sessions, and the completion of written exercises. Audio-visual materials and computer software
reinforce the linguistic and cultural outcomes of this course. Cultural topics focus both on Latin America and Spain. This course prepares students
