Goals

Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

• Apply a high-beginner to low intermediate understanding of how the other main parts of speech function in Spanish such as adverbs, clauses, prepositions, and traditionally difficult concepts for non-native speakers such as the para vs. por, saber vs. conocer, verbs used with different prepositions, the subjunctive mood, etc.

• Articulate a high beginner's level knowledge of Spanish vocabulary of approximately 1500 words.

• Interpret and produce longer passages in Spanish, especially when more difficult vocabulary is provided.

• Recognize the history, culture, and civilization of the Spanish-speaking world through cross-cultural and cross-linguistic comparisons.

• Use orally and in writing the conjugation of commonly used major tenses, as well as different moods of the Spanish language.
