Span 1: Elementary Spanish

Spanish 1 is an introductory Spanish course where students study pronunciation, vocabulary, sentence structure, grammar, and cultural readings that develop the four language skills: listening, reading, speaking and writing. The final goal of the course is to provide the foundations for oral comprehension and proficiency in using the Spanish language in real communicative situations at the introductory level. The audio CD’s are very important for the distance learning classes. The tests will be similar to the workbook. (Please call the bookstore for information on the audio CD’s 763-7731. The audio CD’s are NOT optional).
