Spanish for Heritage Speakers I serves heritage Spanish-speakers, born or educated in the U.S., and other students whose mother tongue is not Spanish but whose proficiency in Spanish is not fluent. This course is designed to provide students with an active and rewarding learning experience as they strengthen their language skills and develop their cultural competency. This course focuses on real communication in meaningful contexts that develop and consolidate students’ speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. Students completing this course would take Heritage Spanish II.
Is Spanish for Heritage Speakers for you? This course is designed for the student who understands and/or speaks/writes some Spanish but is not 100% literate. Spanish 1 would probably be too easy for you and review some basic information that you already know, but you aren't fully prepared for AP Spanish yet either. This class will focus on improving your comprehension of written and spoken Spanish and your ability to write and communicate in an academic setting. This class is new and there is a minimum enrollment for the class to run, but we hope that you will join the inaugural year of Heritage Spanish!
