THE SUMMER OF 2023: Mini-course offerings
SUMMER REFRESHERS:
(A) Spanish 1 review to prepare for Spanish 2 in fall:
This eight-week (one session per week) review will concentrate on the basic skills obtained in Spanish 1: understanding, speaking, reading and writing.
The course will offer explanations and practice in the fundamentals of this level: Conjugation; subject, direct and indirect object pronouns; articles; agreement and placement of adjectives and the nouns they modify; telling time; numbers; interrogatives and word order in a question; ser versus estar. Vocabulary acquisition and oral usage will be emphasized. Moderate amount of homework/study at home is expected. Students completing this “refresher” should feel confident beginning the Spanish 2 level wherever they will study it.
(B) Spanish 2 review to prepare for Spanish 3 in fall:
This eight-week (one session per week) review will concentrate and expand upon the skills obtained in Spanish 1 and Spanish 2: understanding, speaking, reading and writing.
The course will offer explanations and practice in the fundamentals of this level: Conjugation- both the regular and irregular verbs in the present, preterite and imperfect tenses; agreement and placement of adjectives and the nouns they modify; all pronouns- subject, object and reflexive; use of subjunctive after verbs of volition, emotion and doubt and after certain conjunctions; and imperatives. Vocabulary acquisition and oral usage will be emphasized. Moderate amount of homework/study at home is expected. Students completing this “refresher” should feel confident beginning the Spanish 3 level wherever they will study it.
