Hispanic Studies

Hispanic Studies 105-106 is a yearlong language course emphasizing the development of foundational listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills while exploring the social, cultural, and political realities of the Spanish-speaking world. HISP-105 is designed for students with little or no previous training in Spanish. In-class activities in groups and pairs, written and oral assessments, and a final project are designed to increase both your intercultural competence and your Spanish. Conducted in Spanish, this course applies a communicative approach to language learning. Our daily classes are tailored to reinforce and apply new grammatical structures and vocabulary that students will learn and practice independently at home before each class. Students must complete HISP-106 to receive credit for HISP-105. Each semester's grade is separate.
