Spanish Advanced Conversation

In this advanced Spanish conversation class, participants will read and discuss five short stories that represent diverse cultural themes representative of Latin America and Spain, such as superstition, class, first people groups, politics and human relationships. Your learning will be guided by videos, interviews, and other brief readings. Improve your Spanish conversation skills while growing your knowledge of short literary pieces and immersing yourself in Hispanic culture.

All materials are provided.

Prerequisite: Spanish 6 or similar level. You should score well on this placement test or have taken previous advanced courses to enroll.

Course format

Each week participants work through instructional materials in the Canvas course platform in preparation for the live conversation sessions. Participants should budget 3-4 hours a week to work through the online asynchronous materials. Participants practice speaking live with the instructor and other participants in weekly sessions of one and a half hours. Discussion will be a mix of small groups using Zoom breakout rooms in addition to conversations with the entire class. Online course materials are available one week before the first live 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.
