Class Description: This intermediate Spanish conversation course is aimed at furthering the development of students’ oral and listening skills through the discussion of topics presented by a carefully selected series of simple YouTube videos in Spanish. The instructor will conduct classroom sessions entirely in Spanish based on relatively short YouTube videos that inspire discussion and analysis of the topics. YouTube-video topics will come from a variety of authors and countries. The instructor as well will use the book: "Stories: Buenas Noches para Niñas rebeldes”, and use it for reading and discussion.
Prerequisite: Completion of Spanish 1, 2, and 3 or equivalent knowledge. This intermediate Spanish conversation course is designed and intended for students with good grammatical backgrounds but with limited listening and speaking abilities. We request that advanced students NOT take this course so that the instructor can adjust the vocabulary and speed of the language used in the class to levels appropriate for students who are striving to develop basic listening and speaking skills.
Instruction: The instructor will conduct the class in Spanish. Often, grammatical and usage points come up during discussions, and the instructor may from time to time incorporate brief grammatical explanations in English into the conversation, but this is not a grammar class, and the focus will be on refining verbal-communication skills in Spanish.
