Learners engage in meaningful, real-life situations and interpret authentic and adapted texts, audio, and visual materials to build comprehension and cultural awareness. The course emphasizes communication, cultural connections, and the application of Spanish in practical contexts while developing students’ confidence and ability to communicate at the Novice level of proficiency.
