Instructional emphasis is placed on writing (opinion essays, emails, short stories), reading comprehension (novels, short stories, and authentic texts), comprehension of native speakers, and conversations in Spanish.  Cultural studies are incorporated throughout the year, based on the interests and desires of each year’s students. Coursework is aimed at preparing students for the AP Spanish and/or College Placement exams.  The course is conducted in Spanish and students are expected to speak in Spanish.
