The purpose of this course is to improve intermediate Spanish students' grammatical and communicative competence in the target language and to strengthen their productive skills across interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational domains of communication. This course is meant to prepare students for upper-level Spanish courses not only by raising the learners' level of language proficiency, but also by expanding their knowledge of Hispanic cultures and by sharpening their critical-thinking skills. Students will learn to implement useful strategies for speaking, reading, listening, and writing. Emphasis will be placed on writing activities that will develop learner competency in the sensory/descriptive, imaginative/narrative, practical/informative, and analytical/expository domains of the craft.
