SPN 210 - Intermediate/advanced Spanish in Ecuador, 7 credit hours

Prerequisite(s): Minimum SPN 101 (See the description of this class below for more details).
SPN 210 is an intermediate and/or advanced course in Spanish that reviews and expands knowledge of grammar, aural skills (listening and comprehension), and reading and written skills in Spanish. If the student is a Spanish major or minor, this course may be the equivalent of SPN 102/SPN 201, SPN 201/SPN 202, SPN 202/SPN 301I, or two of the following courses: SPN 240I, SPN 303I, and/or SPN 311I, however, the exact equivalence will depend on the student’s placement by the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures. Course Structure and Objectives: SPN 210 is designed to reinforce and expand the Spanish language skills the student has already acquired in the first year of language instruction. During the semester, the student should improve her or his ability to manipulate not only the basic structures of Spanish, but more idiosyncratic and sophisticated structures as well. Special attention will be given to vocabulary enrichment, literary and cultural readings, oral discussions and writing. See Explorations/ Study Abroad program.
