Students will understand and comprehend a variety of resources in multiple formats including conversations, lectures, oral presentations, newspapers, letters, instructions, internet articles and short stories or poetry. Then they will take said resources and not only be able to comment or give opinions, but also synthesize information from what was seen, read or heard. Expressing through both spoken and written mediums by convincing, arguing, inquiring, and describing will help the student to express well in a variety of styles and strategies, including those for different audiences. Beyond grammar & writing, we will expand our knowledge and understanding of the practices, perspectives, and products of the Spanish language and culture. Finally, acquire and enrich vocabulary so the student can manipulate, with confidence, a variety of reading and aural materials.
