Spanish for Native Speakers 1

This course is not for students who are not able to understand and participate in a class conducted in Spanish. This course is designed for US-born heritage Spanish speakers who can communicate orally but have not had formal reading and writing instruction in Spanish. The emphasis of the course will be grammar structure and spelling. Students will develop their reading and writing skills in Spanish, through a literature-based program that will allow students to transfer academic skills acquired in their English classes such as reading and discussing short stories, analyzing and interpreting prose and poetry. The literature-based program will concentrate on Latino authors. This course will be conducted in Spanish,
