Spanish 202

 
Spanish 202 is for students who are able to communicate comfortably in sentence-length discourse in asking and answering questions and who can link sentences into simple paragraphs with some ease. The present, future and past tenses are reviewed and more complex grammar structures are introduced. By the end of the semester, students should be able to read relatively lengthy uncomplicated texts and to write full-length paragraphs. Students will also learn about salient aspects of Hispanic culture. Language laboratory work is required (see below for details).Authentic literary readings provide themes for in-class discussions and a context in which to practice grammar structures and solidify students' communication skills.  
 
LEARNING GOALS. BY the end of this course students should: 
(1) be able to sustain everyday topics spontaneously over several sentences, both orally and in writing 
(2) give evidence of partial ability to shape cohesive descriptions and narrations through conjunctions and other expressive devices 
(3) be able to comprehend with some ease lengthy connected texts, both written and auditory, such as narrations, descriptions, explanations, comparisons, etc. 
(4) demonstrate essentially full control of vocabulary related to everyday experiences and of basic structures, such as the Present and Future Tenses. 
(5) show conceptual and partial control of complex structures, such as the Passive Voice, the Subjunctive, Past Tenses, etc.  
(6) be able to discuss, both orally and in writing, some characteristics of Hispanic cultures and comment on cross-cultural contrasts.
