Course Description Intermediate Spanish I ( Spanish 2311) This course offers the opportunity to develop listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in Spanish through conversation, vocabulary acquisition, reading, composition, and culture. It includes a grammar review and further study of the Hispanic culture. Contact hours: the online equivalent of 3 lecture and 1 lab hours weekly on a 15 week semester. Prerequisite: Span 1412 with grade C or above, or the Departmental Online Placement Test. Note regarding Speaking in the Online class: The online format is particularly well-suited for the student with a strong speaking skill in Spanish, who needs to develop more fully in the other areas of language learning. Other students who need to take the class online should plan to sign-up for weekly Tutorials in the G-109 Foreign Language Lab, form a Study Group, and contact the Instructor for other suggestions. The Instructor reserves the right to conduct online or phone conversations and interviews with students to help them develop and keep up this very important skill Section Instructor: Student Survey Section Instructor: Amalia Parra file:///u /DEinfo/Internet%20SIP's/Internet%20SIP's/SPAN-2311-ION.htm (11 of 12)3/2/2007 8:15:06 AM
