SPAN 213: IntermedSpanishGramCult&Comm
An exploration of cultural and contemporary topics at the intermediate level via a variety of materials (such as print, film, internet, and/or music) and peer-oriented activities that enable students to continue developing the four language skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. This course must be taken in residence.

SPAN 300: Oral Communication
Conducted entirely in Spanish, this conversation course has three principal aims: improve students' fluency and comprehension in Spanish, to reduce students' second language accent, and to foster student-led discussion of current events and cultural topics from the Spanish-speaking world. In-class discussions and oral presentations will provide students between the Intermediate Mid and Advanced Low ACTFL levels with the opportunity to practice conversational Spanish.
