Spanish

SPANISH 110 (not offered in the 2009/2010 school year)

Co-requisite: Students must be enrolled in French 111/112 or French Immersion Language Arts 110 (Early or Late)

This is an introductory course in one of the world’s most widely spoken languages.  The course is then designed for students with no background in Spanish.  Speaking and listening skills are developed with an orientation toward real-life tasks and genuine communication.    Some very basic grammar is studied, but class presentations, films and dialogues contribute to make this a very active learning experience.  This course is an excellent preparation for a university Spanish course.

SPANISH 120 (not offered in the 2009/2010 school year)

Prerequisite: Spanish 110

This second Spanish course will continue where Spanish 110 left off.  As in the previous course, speaking and listening skills are developed with an orientation toward real-life tasks and genuine communication.  New topics will be covered giving the student a broader knowledge of the language.  More advance grammar is studied, but the emphasis continues to be oral communication.  Group and individual presentations, films and dialogues contribute to make this a very active learning experience.  Students should easily be able to exempt the introductory Spanish course at university following the successful completion of this course.
