Advanced Spanish II

Course Overview

This course is designed as a continuation of Advanced Spanish I. During this course, the students will continue putting into practice all the grammatical structures learned in previous Spanish classes with the purpose of applying them in a more communicative way. The students will acquire a greater proficiency in the Spanish language and will gain an understanding and social awareness of different Spanish-speaking cultures. They will analyze, compare, and contrast cultural information; understand more complex texts; and write more developed and fully organized compositions incorporating all grammatical structures. In each chapter, there will be a specific emphasis on using certain grammar structures, but students will continue applying the grammar they know. The students will analyze current issues and important topics during class discussions and debates, as well as continue the cultural written exchanges with students from another Spanish-speaking country. At the end of this course, the student will have gained all the required modes of communication to fully communicate in Spanish within different settings.
