Spanish 250: Readings and Writings: Intermediate to Advanced Grammar: 3 Credits

Spanish 202/250 is a 3-credit reading, writing and intermediate to advanced grammar course. In order to increase fluency and grammar accuracy in Spanish, we will utilize authentic readings and student experience outside of the classroom as they interact with people and culture in Quito. This course will teach reading strategies and provide advanced reading practice in a variety of genres which will introduce them to literature in Spanish, increase vocabulary to a more advanced level and prepare students for higher-level Spanish classes. Students will be assigned activities in all four modalities: reading, writing, listening, and speaking, with a focus on analyzing readings. Readings will be from different genres, which will then be the basis for writing and conversation tasks. We will review and learn new major grammar principles and build on those concepts to more advanced structures.
