Spanish II A/B

Learning Outcomes

Spanish II A

Spanish II A is an intermediate-level Spanish course designed for independent learners. Through videos, audio clips and a variety of interactive activities and cultural interviews students will see and hear native speakers around the Spanish-speaking world. Students of this Spanish language course will participate in both written and oral activities designed to incorporate the new vocabulary and grammar they have learned in each unit.

Key components of this online Spanish course are unit assignments, virtual classroom participation, discussion board posting and a term project. Students are assessed via unit vocabulary tests, completion of unit assignments, and participation in unit virtual classroom discussions, timely postings to the discussion board, a final examination and successful completion of the term project. Unit suggestions will guide students in completing these tasks successfully. Specific learning outcomes and reading assignments are provided in each unit.

Spanish II A is intended to be the first half of a second year Spanish course at the end of which successful students will be able to participate in everyday conversations in Spanish. Both Spanish II A and Spanish II B have been designed so that students can proceed at an even pace throughout the semester. However, both courses require that students do additional reading in the first unit of the course and the seventh unit of the course. Therefore, it is important that students familiarize themselves with the online course and begin reading immediately.
