SPAN 003 teaches culture and facilitates language acquisition through listening,
speaking, reading and writing. Students will continue to interact with authentic language
in context. Content is expanded beyond "survival" needs of the immediate environment
in order to express personal meaning and to apply different strategies and techniques
to go beyond casual conversation and express opinions, make suggestions on familiar
topics, as well as some abstract issues and plans. Students demonstrate an increased
awareness of cultural norms, values, and culturally relevant appropriate customs and
events. Accuracy becomes quite high for high-frequency structures and vocabulary but
more complex discourse is still developing and requires a somewhat sympathetic listener
or reader. Students will demonstrate the ability to think critically by analyzing
linguistic structures and reflecting on and making cross-cultural comparisons. This
course should be taught in Spanish.
