Overview
In this unit students gain more advanced writing, speaking, listening and reading comprehension skills, enabling them to become proficient communicators through emphasis on the production of written and spoken Spanish in particular. Students extend their grammatical competence with more sophisticated language structures, with stress placed on the use of the indicative and subjunctive in subordinate clauses and their awareness of different discourses and registers. In the culture component, students develop a more in-depth understanding of the social, historical, political and cultural issues that have shaped the cultures and peoples of the Spanish-speaking world through analyses of Spanish/Latin American films and/or literature.
