Welcome to Span 3060.

In this course, we will:

• Give special attention to advanced areas of Spanish grammar appropriate for oral argumentation and expository writing and also to distinctions between formal and informal usage.
• Continue development of conversational and written skills through discussing the different cultural aspects of Spanish-speaking countries, emphasizing the richness of the different cultures as well as dialectal uses of grammar.
• Focus on critical and creative writing with emphasis on summaries, narratives, and descriptions of a factual nature, and supported opinion.
• Use authentic materials to promote the understanding of Hispanic cultures.

With the exception of students who obtained their high school diplomas in Spanish speaking countries, students using 3060 as an entry level class may receive vertical credits for lower level courses upon passing 3060 with a C grade or higher. Equivalent experience may substitute for prerequisite.
