    Description
    This course is designed for students who are fluent in spoken, informal Spanish and who need to improve their writing, reading, and grammar skills. Emphasis is placed on formal, written communication skills in Spanish at the intermediate level, and the study of Hispanic and Chicano culture through contemporary reading materials. The course focuses on language challenges particular to Spanish speakers such as orthography, the inappropriate mix of English and Spanish, and contrasts between standard Spanish and regional variations. This course is conducted entirely in Spanish.
