Syllabus Span 1310
Course Description |
| SPAN 1310 Beginning Spanish Conversation II
Spanish 1310, Conversational Spanish II is the continuation
of Spanish 1300. The two courses constitute an alternate beginning
sequence designed for students who have had no previous contact with
Spanish, and those who wish to acquire limited conversational skills
for travel or the workplace, or who wish to start their study of Spanish
more gradually than in 1411. This course does not count toward
a university language requirement, but generally transfers as an elective.

| Prerequisites |

contexts studied.
- Become aware of customs and attitudes of Spanish-speaking countries
which apply to the contexts studied.

ads, short dialogues, etc.

Content |
| The emphasis in class is on oral communication: listening
and speaking skills. The course uses a video. It will include talking
about the story and role-playing everyday situations. There will be
no systematic study of grammar. Only those structures needed to communicate
in the situations presented will be introduced. Topics include home,
school, family, work, shopping, getting around. You will learn to ask
permission, ask directions, express opinions, order a meal, make reservations,
expression weather and date, make travel arrangements, talk about the
future, narrate in the past, give commands.
