Students will continue working on the foundations of written and oral Spanish that will prepare them for Spanish 11. Various themes, always in the context of the Hispanic culture, and extensive vocabulary and grammar will give students the basis to become more confident in their use of spoken and written Spanish. This course uses the “communicative approach”: listening and speaking activities are a main focus. Consequently, students should be prepared for a course where regular attendance and active class participation are expected. Both written and spoken work is required.
