Spanish 3

In this course, students continue to broaden their knowledge of the Spanish language, the culture of the Spanish-speaking world and develop their writing and speaking abilities. Collaborative and creative projects enhancing the vocabulary covered in each unit are an essential part of this class. By the end of the course, students will be able to express themselves in most major tenses of the Spanish language (present, past, future) with a great focus on the subjunctive. To develop verbal skills, students are expected to converse in Spanish during all live meets. Students who successfully complete this course may advance to Spanish 4.

Completion of this course requires regular access to a laptop or desktop computer with working microphone and webcam, as well as a reliable internet connection.

This Fixed-Paced course incorporates a blend of synchronous and asynchronous elements. Students and teacher meet live via zoom on a regular weekly schedule. In addition, students complete coursework including guided readings, interactive videos, text and video-based discussion threads, problem sets, individual and collaborative projects, and so on. While these activities are time-flexible, teachers sequence them with weekly deadlines to help students keep on track and encourage and support the development of productive time management skills.
