Elementary Spanish III – Honors

This honors course is designed for students who have taken Elementary Spanish II or an equivalent course. The course seeks to improve students’ fluency in Spanish and to expose them to the many cultures it encompasses. This course work will allow students to develop all four language skills: reading, speaking, listening and writing along with the cultural background necessary to help them communicate effectively in Spanish. To expose students to as much Spanish as possible and to develop their listening and speaking skills, this class is taught entirely in Spanish. By the end of the semester, students should be able to understand communicative acts and read texts from primary Spanish sources, engage in conversations on a variety of topics, and write compositions about their thoughts and opinions on matters studied in class. This course may also include cultural events outside the classroom. Graded on A-F basis only. Prerequisites: Honors eligibility required.
