CLASS NOTES: IUB GenEd World Language class
S200, the first course in the second-year sequence, reviews and builds upon the basic structures studied in the first year, and introduces culture that is woven throughout the chapters to enable students to learn to recognize and appreciate cultural diversity. Like other courses in the language program, this course follows a communicative approach which springs from the idea that languages are best learned when real-world information becomes the focus of student activities. Throughout the course students will focus on communication, culture, skill development and will acquire practical vocabulary and enhance their understanding of essential Spanish grammar concepts. From the first day of class, students will interact in Spanish with the instructor and with classmates, discussing topics of importance to the 21st century, with emphasis on the development of critical thinking skills in addition to the refinement of the four basic language skills.
