Course format
Instructional videos and interactive online materials in the Canvas course platform introduce new grammar and vocabulary and teach pronunciation, listening and reading skills. Participants should budget 3-4 hours a week to work through the online asynchronous materials in preparation for the live in-person conversation session that will take place at UW South Madison Partnership in room 104. Participants will practice speaking with the instructor in a group of 5-15 students in weekly one-and-a-half-hour in-person conversation classes. Online course materials are available one week before the first in-person conversation class and remain accessible for one month after the course ends.
Note: You will not be able to view the course on your Canvas Dashboard or access the materials until the course start date.

I really enjoyed this class! There was a nice blend of instructor-fronted, partner, small-group, and full-group activities. I will certainly take more Spanish Continuing Ed classes in the future. Thank you!
Outstanding!
Thanks for an excellent experience!
