SPAN 120 is an intermediate-level Spanish course. It is recommended for students who have had the equivalent of three-to-four years of high school Spanish.  This course seeks to expand Spanish language skills with exercises in conversation, oral comprehension and composition, based on cultural readings.


This course teaches students to understand key conversation points at work, school, and beyond; how to deal with situations that may arise while traveling in a Spanish-speaking country; and how to compose simple, connected texts regarding personal matters and typical, familiar topics. Students will learn how to describe experiences, events, dreams, hopes and ambitions and explain the rationale behind their opinions and future plans.


This course prepares students for Spanish III (SPAN 125). Three hours per week with the lecturer, plus one hour with the language assistant. Limited to 15 students per section. This course may not be counted toward the Spanish Major. The class will be conducted entirely in Spanish.


Requisite: Spanish I (SPAN 110) or Spanish Placement Exam.  Fall semester Lecturer Granda and Assistants.  Spring semester Professor Sánchez-Naranjo and Assistants.
