Spanish 4

The fourth year of Spanish builds on skills learned in the first three years. The student will continue to sharpen listening, speaking, reading and writing skills through activities based on pedagogically proven methods of foreign language instruction.

In the first semester, students will study work, sports and vacation vocabulary. In the second semester, topics of study are society, the arts and media. Through these topics students learn to express themselves using an ever-increasing vocabulary and increasingly complex grammatical structures using the present, past, future, conditional and subjunctive-tense verbs, articles, and adjectives. Grammar is practiced in innovative and interesting ways with a variety of learning styles in mind.

Throughout the course, students are exposed to the culture of the Spanish speaking world to advance their understanding of its people, geographical locations and histories.
