SPAN 134: SPANISH IMMERSION
OFFERED FULL TERM
Daily Multiple sections/times 15 credits

This "planned immersion" approach covers the equivalent of the 1st year of elementary Spanish (101, 102. 103) in a short period of 9 weeks. It is an extremely intensive course which requires the outmost commitment on the part of the student (3.5 hours of class 5 days a week, and 3-4 hours of daily preparation). Students who register for this course should be prepared to devote 7-8 hours daily to studying Spanish.

Spanish 134 follows an alternative method. It is an approach in which students learn the foreign 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.

Credit Policy: Students who already have credit for SPAN 101 (or 121) will receive only 10 credits for SPAN 134, those who already have credit for SPAN 102/110 (or 122) will receive only 5 credits for SPAN 134, and those who already have credit for SPAN 103 (or 123) will not receive any credit for SPAN 134. . In addition, a student who completed at least two years of Spanish in high school will receive only 10 credits for SPAN 134. It is important to note that those who do not receive full credit for SPAN 134 are required to turn in all assignments and participate in all aspects of the course.

Required texts: Destinos: An Introduction to Spanish. Workbook/Study Guide I, II. VanPatten, Marks, & Teschner, McGraw-Hill; and a course pack which will be available at the Communications Building Copy Center.
