Course Description:

Spanish Three Immersion Experience in Santander is the immersive equivalent to SPAN III/SPAN220. Much like in its analogous course, students will be required to consume authentic materials in Spanish, analyze and reflect upon their lexical and grammatical features, both independently and in the classroom in order to glean how the language works.

In addition to this receptive work, students will be asked to begin creating with language, with peers and in the community. The main goal of the program is for students to gain basic communicative abilities through repeated interaction.
