SPA 101 — Elementary Spanish I
This is a first semester introduction to the Spanish language and Hispanic cultures. It is designed for beginning students with little or no previous exposure to the language. The emphasis is on the development of the three modes of communication: interpersonal, presentational, and interpretive, through the mastery of basic grammatical structures. Through the use of language and additional methods students will gain knowledge of cultural practices and perspectives in Spain and Latin America. Additionally, students will learn about political, economic, and socio-cultural differences and similarities within the Hispanic community in a global context. This course requires active participation in online activities as a mandatory component. Online courses may require use of a webcam. Native, heritage and or speakers of Spanish are encouraged to take the CLEP exam before enrolling in this course. NOTE: Two or less years of high school Spanish, or less than one semester of college study.
