Language acquisition is a developmental process aimed at the ultimate goal of communication. Over time the student develops the ability to write and speak in a meaningful and appropriate manner. Spanish IV reinforces and intensifies language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing, and encourages deeper appreciation of the Spanish culture, language, literary genres, and value for enhanced career opportunities. Areas of study include expression, comprehension, language and culture, cultures, language functions, connections, and personal applications. Emphasis is placed on applying oral and written communication skills to personal, academic, and cultural activities.
