Spanish IV Honors is the fourth course in the AP Spanish Language track for non-heritage speakers. This is an accelerated continuation of the study of Spanish vocabulary, grammar, and culture. Students refine 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 the target language as well as developing a cultural understanding of the Spanish-speaking world. This Pre-AP course provides opportunities for development of interpersonal, presentational, and interpretive skills.
