000497-000500 Immersion A:

This class is for students who speak Spanish as a primary or secondary language. Students should be conversationally fluent in Spanish (though not necessarily able to read and write at a high school level) and should want to improve their Spanish skills. The class will be taught exclusively in Spanish. Emphasis will be placed on developing the necessary academic skills to understand and use written and spoken language in a more sophisticated way.

Este curso ha sido diseñado para el estudiante que habla español y quiere mejorar sus habilidades lingüísticas. La clase será impartida estrictamente en español, pero no se supone que los alumnos entienden español académico. El énfasis será puesto en el desarrollo de las habilidades académicas para que el estudiante entienda y maneje el lenguaje en el discurso escrito y oral en una manera más sofisticada.

114755-114758 Immersion B:

This course is designed for heritage Spanish speakers or students that have come from the Spanish Immersion program through PLSAS or another qualified immersion program. Students that have completed Spanish for Heritage Speakers and Immersion Students A are eligible to take this course but taking course A is not a prerequisite to taking B. The course offered alternates each year, so students entering ninth grade are also eligible to take this course and then take Spanish for Heritage Speakers and Immersion Students A the following year. This course focuses on enhanced literacy, pronunciation, writing skills, grammar, and cultural awareness of Spanish speaking countries. This course will be instructed entirely in Spanish and with a content-based learning approach.
