The knowledge gained will be basic language structure as mentioned in the introduction as it pertains to the study of languages. Since this is the first in a planned sequence of courses, the acquisition of a simple basic vocabulary is stressed. The students will listen to authentic recordings, will practice speaking and will write in the target language within a structured framework. In addition, they will read for comprehension via textbooks, workbooks, and supplemental materials. Continue, reinforce and expand the four skills introduced in Level I. New grammatical structures and vocabulary will be introduced.
Emphasis is placed on deeper understanding of the language and culture.
The goal is for the students to do these activities in the target language and to begin thinking solely in the language studied. To further refine and expand the knowledge acquired in the previous two levels. The students will achieve an intermediate level of skill in the four areas of language acquisition. In addition to the activities done in previous levels, the students will be able to pursue different paths of interest such as writing or giving oral reports on music, literature, art, history and biographies, to mention a few. Work is done almost exclusively in the foreign language.
