Spanish 4

Spanish 4 is an advanced-level online course designed for students who have already completed at least one year of immersion-style Spanish study. This year-long program aims to deepen students' understanding and fluency in Spanish, focusing on oral expression through oral presentations and recitations. The course balances speaking, listening, reading, and writing activities, encouraging students to communicate primarily in Spanish within the classroom. While the instructor speaks predominantly in Spanish to foster an immersive learning environment, they may occasionally use English to explain complex grammar concepts. The course seeks to prepare students for real-life language use, understanding, and humility in the face of unfamiliar vocabulary or phrases, mirroring the experiences of travelers and immigrants. Throughout the year, students are expected to demonstrate humility, patience, perseverance, and courage in their language learning journey.
