In this language acquisition course, students focus on five themes: identities, experiences, human ingenuity, social organization, and sharing the planet. Students communicate clearly and effectively in a range of situations, demonstrate linguistic competence and intercultural understanding, use language appropriate to a range of interpersonal and cultural contexts, use language to express and to respond to a range of ideas in a clear, coherent, and convincing manner, and use written texts and works of literature written in Spanish.
Students at standard level learn the advanced lexicon and grammar necessary to communicate through speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Students respond to visual stimuli, present orally, role play, and write emails, blogs, articles, letters, creative stories, and advertisements.
