    Description
    This course is designed for students whose primary experience with Spanish has been with their family and/or community, and who have had little to no exposure to Spanish in an academic setting. Course instruction builds upon the students’ existing linguistic skills as well as their cultural heritage and knowledge. Students will improve their proficiency in speaking, listening, reading and writing, and develop a heightened awareness of the diversity of Hispanic cultures, as manifested in Spanish-speaking countries and in the United States. This course is conducted in Spanish. C-ID: SPAN 220.
