Spanish 121, 122 and 123 follow an alternative method. It is an
approach in which students learn the language in its cultural context.
Through the use of video as the central medium of presentation,
students experience the language as it occurs in real-life situations
and settings throughout the Spanish-speaking world. This communicative
method follows the premise that the four language skills are most
effectively developed when acquired in a specific order: listening,
speaking, reading, writing. Students who register for this course
should expect a more rigorous, grammar-intensive approach. It is
intended for highly motivated students who have a particular interest
in learning Spanish grammar and who plan to commit a great deal
of time to its study. From the first day, the class is conducted
almost entirely in Spanish as a conversation in which all students
are expected to actively participate. Students will discuss the
characters and events as they unfold in the telenovela of the video
series as the context through which they learn and practice the
grammar and vocabulary of each chapter. Students who are taking
Spanish with no other interest than to fulfill the foreign language
requirement should not take this class. They would be better served
by following another course of study.
In the summer, it is offered as a 15-credit course under SPAN 134.
