This course is a continuation of the study of Spanish vocabulary, grammar, and culture for non-heritage speakers. Students build upon their intermediate level of proficiency while describing themselves, others, and the world around them. Some of the themes studied include careers and volunteerism, ancient and modern civilizations, environmental issues, human rights, heroism, and literature. This course stresses speaking, listening, reading, and writing in Spanish as well as developing a cultural understanding of the Spanish-speaking world.
