Advanced Practice in Spanish and Introduction to Hispanic Literature
SPAN221 FA

In SPAN221, poems, plays, and short stories representative of various Spanish-speaking countries and different periods of literary history are used to stimulate conversation, improve writing skills, and introduce students to the fundamentals of literary analysis. The course is given exclusively in Spanish. Some laboratory work may be assigned. Besides the three hours of class sessions with the professor, all students are required to attend a weekly one-hour conversation section. SPAN221 is considered a gateway to the Spanish major. It is designed to prepare students who have completed two years of college-level Spanish for advanced-level reading courses or for study abroad.
