All Genders Course; Prerequisite - Successful completion of both 8th grade and a beginning Spanish language course; Full Year Course
Course Overview
Please review course selection guidance before registering. Spanish-Beginning II is focused on mastering the basics of the Spanish language while simultaneously introducing students to an exploration of cultural comparisons to develop the beginnings of cultural competency. Spanish–Beginning II is designed for novice language learners who have completed a beginning Spanish course and have the academic maturity to thrive in an asynchronous learning environment. In Quarters 1 and 2, students will learn basic grammar and vocabulary that builds the foundation for communication in their second language. They will develop tools that they can utilize as they participate in basic listening, speaking, reading, and writing. In Quarters 3 and 4, the goal is to expand the language’s utility for each student. Students are pushed to engage in Spanish discussions and written activities where they must employ the basics mastered in Quarters 1 and 2 combined with new grammar concepts, richer vocabulary, and a plethora of thematic discussion points. This course is designed to help students view Spanish as a tool that can be used in the real world to truly connect them with people of different cultures. Students who complete this course are prepared for Spanish - Intermediate I course.
