Spanish 202 is the second semester of Intermediate Spanish, which provides a review and expansion of the conversational practice, grammatical structures, vocabulary, culture and literature studied in previous semesters. Our classroom goals will be to improve upon the four basic foreign language skills: oral comprehension, speaking, reading and writing. Moreover, our focus on cultural, historical and literary readings and films will prepare students for the possibility of continuing their studies of Spanish in the future.

Since this is a second year course, all students should be prepared to participate actively in the classroom and speak in SPANISH. The course will also be taught entirely in SPANISH with exceptions made only for the clarification of some complex grammatical concepts. Students will be responsible for PREPARING assignments BEFORE class in order to PARTICIPATE in class. This will allow us to SPEAK SPANISH rather than talk about Spanish in English. English may be used during office hours or after class for individual questions. If there is any student in this class who has special needs for academic accommodations, please feel welcome to discuss this with your professor, preferably during the beginning of the semester.
