Immersion Spanish: Intermediate Spanish I is an Interdisciplinary Arts class taught by Caroline Gear and J. Madiedo.

This course satisfies Division I requirements. This course requires prerequisites.

Course Description
This course is the first semester of second-year Spanish. Students enrolled in this course should have taken LS 102 or its equivalent and be able to use the present, future, preterit, imperfect tenses and pronouns with some fluency and have a working knowledge of the present subjunctive. 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 is designed to reinforce grammatical structures introduced in first-year Spanish through activities that practice all four skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Attention is given to using command forms and the subjunctive. Classroom activities and topics are connected to the culture and literature of the Spanish-speaking world through the textbook, Enfoques, as well as students' own experiences. Emphasis is 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.
