Immersion Elementary Spanish II

Immersion Elementary Spanish II is an Interdisciplinary Arts class taught by Caroline Gear and Daniel Cuenca.

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

Course Description
This course is the second semester of first-year Spanish and students enrolled in this course should have taken LS 101 or an equivalent. 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. Students entering this level should be able to use the present, future (ir + a + infinitive), and preterit with some fluency and accuracy. Attention is given to building accuracy with grammatical structures introduced in LS 101 and focusing on the differences between the preterit and imperfect tenses along with pronoun use. More sophisticated grammar is also introduced in this course. All four skill areas (speaking, listening, reading, and writing) are practiced through activities that are based on real-life situations, the course textbook, Aventuras, and the students' experiences. This class focuses on speaking and using Spanish. Classroom attendance and participation count for 50 percent of the requirement for credit.

All Spanish classes are taught by faculty from the International Language Institute in Northampton (www.ili.edu). All classes will meet January 4th at 9:15 in the East Lecture Hall. For more information regarding placement, please contact Caroline Gear, Director of Programs, caroline@ili.edu.
