Activities as mentioned in Level 1 will continue with the addition of conversation in small groups to especially improve oral communication. Students will describe the world around them with greater detail and fluency. They will also study travel situations, eating out shopping, getting a hotel, giving and following directions. Dictionary Having internalized hundreds of grammatical structures and vocabulary, students put their experience to work. Reading becomes another important area of input.
Students write compositions, more detailed stories and scripts.
Competency and conversational skills are fine-tuned as students communicate with all Spanish speakers available. Recognition of cultural diversity helps students appreciate Hispanic heritage. We will gain a feeling of competency in communication in the target language. The class will read authentic Spanish novels, short stores and poems, and discuss them as literature, preparing them for entrance into advanced university courses in Spanish, or for expressing themselves naturally with native speakers of the language. Activities such as writing a play or television commercial and videotaping our performance are integrated into the class.
