Students continue to develop all of their linguistic skills while exploring topics related to customs, values and traditions, as well as contemporary issues in Spanish-speaking cultures. Materials may include novels, essays, short stories, radio programs, films, newspapers and magazine articles. Attention is given to the development of various forms of written and verbal communication: interpretive, persuasive, interpersonal and presentational. This course, along with Spanish 502 and 504, provides a special review for the SAT II subject test and AP Spanish Language and Culture exam in May, but need not be taken in conjunction or in sequence.
