SPANISH 2 (CUL-221314)

Online Learning Home > Online Learning Catalog > Communications Humanities and Cultural Studies >

Course Description:


This introductory-level course, a continuation of Spanish 1, is designed for students who have had some experience with the language. Students will continue to learn basic grammatical concepts and vocabulary useful to people talking about everyday life, travel, health and well-being, commerce and finance and the media. All language skills will be practiced: listening, speaking, reading and writing. Students will be required to practice weekly speaking and listening skills in real time over the Internet with the instructor and/or teaching assistants. Students should be available for 45 minutes for oral practices scheduled between 7:30-9:00 PM EST at least twice a week. Special accommodations will be made for army students. They will use related websites to learn about the culture of Spanish-speaking countries. Because of the intensive nature of learning all aspects of Spanish (reading, writing, listening, speaking, culture), students should be prepared to devote a significant amount of time to the course.

Note: This course incorporates web conferencing using Blackboard Collaborate. Students taking this course must have access to a computer that meets the minimum technological requirements which are described in the information for setting up Blackboard Collaborate. Before enrolling, students should know how to successfully use or have tested the web conferencing service on their computer. Students are encouraged to participate in ESC’s Blackboard Collaborate Student Training.

This course fully meets the General Education requirement in Foreign Language.
