    Description
    This course is the second of a two-course sequence in Spanish for Spanish Speakers. It is designed for students who are fluent in spoken, informal Spanish and who need to improve their writing, reading, and grammar skills. It furthers the mastery of formal, written communication in Spanish at the intermediate-advanced level, while integrating instruction in Hispanic and Chicano culture through increased practice in intermediate-advanced level readings, relevant, and authentic materials. The course focuses 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.
