This course is a practical introduction to the Spanish language. Based on a communicative and culture-based approach, this course is designed to develop basic listening, speaking, reading and writing skills in the Spanish language at an A1 level in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The student acquires the language largely through simulated real-life situations in the classroom as well as through grammar modules. Throughout the semester, cultural aspects of the Hispanic world are introduced through the language classes.
