This course will examine the development of elementary language skills for oral and written communication using language structures and functions targeted for the third-level of elementary Spanish. Spanish is the working language. Greater structural accuracy and communicative competence within the framework of language as a fundamental aspect of culture is the focus of the course. Language laboratory practice and/or assignments at home and/or in the language lab are an integral part of instruction, supporting the development of language skills in the areas of pronunciation, structure, syntax and oral communication.
