The course develops students’ ability to narrate and describe in the present frame and exchange basic descriptions and comparisons about authentic materials from the Spanish-speaking world. Students strengthen strategies to handle different communicative tasks in straightforward social situations. It is the third of a six-semester sequence in the Spanish Language Sequence designed for students who a) have successfully completed SPA102H, b) have placed into the course via the Spanish placement exam offered by our unit, or c) have studied Spanish for three years in high school. By the end of the semester, students can expect to have reached the Intermediate Mid level of the ACTFL scale.
