This course is conducted in Spanish and engages students in
conversation in a variety of formats toward further developing oral
proficiency and vocabulary. Readings, Internet surfing, TV or other
viewings on topics of current interest done outside of class serve
as the basis for general class discussions through practice in
different types of discourse, including narration, description,
critical commentary, debate, and dramatic dialogue. Some of the
time will be devoted to developing conversational strategies, and
much importance will be given to interaction in the classroom.
Small group work, emphasis on natural language, and the use of
authentic materials (including readings and films) will be among
the instructional
techniques used.
