    Description
    This is the first course of Intermediate Spanish, designed for students who have successfully completed Elementary Spanish I and II or the equivalent. Students advance their study of the Spanish language through the practice and use of foundational concepts learned in the first year and the study of more complex grammatical structures, vocabulary, verb usage, and idiomatic expressions. Emphasis is placed on developing fluency in oral expression and facility in writing. Students will read and discuss cultural and literary texts in Spanish and deepen their knowledge of Hispanic and Spanish-speaking cultures and modern developments in the Spanish-speaking world. CREDIT GIVEN FOR EITHER SPANISH 036 OR SPANISH 003, BUT NOT BOTH.
