If you have studied Spanish for one year or less at the high school level, enroll in SPA 101. If you have studied Spanish for two of three years in high school, you may enroll in SPA 102 or SPA 111. If you are unsure of your level, a qualified instructor can administer a mini-oral placement exam and offer advice. Ask the lab assistant for details on taking this test and using the chart located in the lab to interpret the results. We want your experience with Spanish study at ASU to be both positive and fruitful.
Full preparation is essential for active participation in class activities.
Your instructor will be very specific regarding his or her expectations for your performance. In addition, many Spanish language newspapers, magazines and radio stations are readily accessible in the Phoenix metro area. The more you interact in Spanish, the more successful your acquisition process will be. Only one basic Spanish course can be taken during any given semester. Students who have received credit for 101 or 102 may NOT take 111 for credit.
