    Description
    Limitation on Enrollment: This course is not open to students with previous credit for Spanish 210. Not intended for Spanish speakers who have received the equivalent of a high school degree in a Spanish speaking country. Students with AP, IB or CLEP credit in Spanish should consult a counselor to avoid credit duplication. Continuation of SPAN 220. It is designed for Heritage Speakers of Spanish to improve their writing, reading, and grammar skills. It focuses on the mastery of formal, written communication in Spanish at the intermediate-advanced level, while integrating authentic cultural and literary readings from Spanish speaking countries. The course focuses also on language challenges that Spanish speakers still encounter at intermediate-advanced level, such as orthography, the inappropriate mix of English and Spanish in specific contexts, and standard Spanish as contrasted with regional variations. This course is conducted entirely in Spanish. Emphasis on the conditional and the subjunctive forms.
