Spanish 2 group 1

Class overview

The goal of this class is to help you continue developing your skills in all four language areas: listening, speaking, reading and writing, and to deepen your understanding of the perspectives and practices of different Spanish-speaking cultures. In class, we will focus on practicing Spanish in real-world situations as we cover the foundations of Spanish grammar, syntax (sentence structure), and morphology (word formation).

Overarching Essential Questions:

• Why is it important to communicate in languages other than your own?

• Why study another culture?

• How can we connect language learning with other disciplines to deepen our understanding?

• How can we develop insight into another language and culture by comparing it to our own?

• How do you use the language in the school setting, in communities, at home and around the world?
