The Spanish 1 course is intended to be the first year of study of Spanish for non-native students. Students will be introduced to different aspects of the cultures of Hispanic countries. The class is designed to attain an acceptable level of proficiency in four basic skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Students must cooperate by completing homework and classwork, assignments, participating in oral reviews and games, and studying the text and notes. The course is aligned to the State Foreign Language Standards.
