Section Description
SPAN 1200 is the second course in a two-semester sequence of beginning Spanish. It is designed for students who have successfully completed SPAN 1100 at the University of Vermont, as well as students with previous experience in Spanish who have scored the requisite number of points in the UVM placement test. The course emphasizes all four major language skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to use their newly acquired skills in order to communicate in Spanish in a realistic and culturally appropriate manner. All classes are conducted in Spanish. This course will have a community-engaged component, where students learning Spanish at UVM can create a video for K-12 kids, based on Indigenous or Afro Hispanic tales. The final goal of Hispanic Tales’ project is to offer a virtual library to School Boards teaching Spanish for Kids in Vermont, a literacy component empowering Spanish proficiency levels for UVM students. The University of Vermont respects the Department of Education’s definition of a credit hour. For every hour spent in class, you are expected to spend approximately 2 hours outside of class. Thus, in SPAN 1200, a 4-credit course, you should plan to spend about 8 hours a week outside of the classroom preparing assignments and studying.
Section Expectation
