            ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Intermediate Spanish (Spanish 200) is a four - level course that reviews and continues the material covered in Spanish 100.
​
Completion of this course fulfills the MAP foreign language requirements while introducing literary readings, short films, and other complex composition exercises. The course involves an integration of the four basic skills, which are listening, speaking, reading, and writing, in the aim to improve all-around communication in Spanish. Through this integrated approach, you will participate in a practical application of vocabulary, grammar, and culture. The course emphasizes mastery of language skills through specific contexts and dialogical situations. At the end of the course the students will read a novel which will be used to review many of the grammatical points covered in the textbook and class work, to improve analytical thinking and literary criticism skills, and to verbally express opinions about the situations presented in the novel.
