This is a course designed to help undergraduate students read in Spanish and translate texts from Spanish into English. This course serves as an alternative to the second part of the Intermediate Level sequence in Spanish (SPA 202). Students will be expected to continue to improve on their oral, aural, and writing Spanish skills by the end of the course, but the main emphasis will be to understand texts of moderate difficulty written originally in Spanish. Special emphasis is given to the expansion of vocabulary and the consolidation of grammatical structures studied throughout the sequence of SPA 101, SPA 102, and SPA 201. Throughout the weeks students will be able to get enough grammatical tools to understand how the language works and how to understand meaning. In-class communication between the professor and the students and among the students will be conducted in Spanish.
Prerequisite:
SPA 250 requires a prerequisite of SPA 201 or permission of the department.
