Spanish 1 is a communication-oriented program with a focus on speaking and listening. The goal is for students to acquire a solid linguistic base on which to build more advanced communication skills such as reading and writing. Students will also be introduced to various cultures within the Spanish-speaking world. Our hope as language teachers is that students will deepen their appreciation for new cultures as well as their own.
