Course Description
This course is the second semester of second-year Spanish.

This is an intensive course and meets 9:15-6:30 Monday-Friday including lunch and dinner with classmates and instructors in SAGA. This class is taught entirely in Spanish and covers the same material in a regular semester course.This course will solidify grammatical structures of Spanish through activities that practice all four skill areas: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Attention will be given to more sophisticated use of the subjunctive and compound tenses. Authentic materials that focus on the culture and literature of the Spanish-speaking world will be used as well as the textbook, Revistas. As in LS 201, focus will be placed on accuracy in speaking and writing in Spanish. Attendance and classroom participation count for 50 percent of the requirement for credit.

This class is taught by faculty from the International Language Institute in Northampton (www.ili.edu). For more information regarding placement, please contact Caroline Gear, Director of Programs, caroline@ili.edu.
