SPA 150 - Beginning Hispanic Culture through Conversation

This is a comprehensive beginning Spanish course providing an overview of the civilization and culture of Spain, and the nations of Latin America. Although there is a promotion of all four language skills: comprehension, speaking, reading and writing, emphasis is put on integrating the basic grammatical structures of the language into proficiency oriented activities focusing in on culturally relevant topics. There will be a use of videos, DVDs, power-point presentations and a field trip will augment lectures and discussions. Three hours of class instruction and one hour of laboratory work per week (or as required by the instructor).
