SPANISH LANGUAGE

While at Penn State I will be teaching Spanish 3. These courses are divided into two components — in-class and online. Two hours of these 4-credit, one-semester courses are completed in class and the rest (instruction + homework) is fulfilled on-line.

The purpose of these courses is to develop and improve communication skills when listening, reading, speaking, and writing in Spanish. The courses follow a communicative information-based task approach, which springs from the idea that languages are best learned when real world information becomes the focus of students’ activities. Therefore, during the semester, you will exchange real-life information about yourself and your classmates.
