This course's methodology emphasizes a modern, participative approach of proven efficacy that integrates linguistic skills with the necessary foundation in structure and grammar. The course is divided into two main sections: (1) an integrated approach to grammar and writing; and (2) an integrated approach to conversation and phonetics.
The cultural classes provide an introduction to Spanish history, art, economy, and either literature or film. Each course's unique focus highlights the most relevant historical, geographical, and artistic aspects of Spanish life while acquainting students with the functioning of the country's primary institutions.
