Summary:  Spanish 2 reviews and strongly reinforces the listening and speaking skills learned in Spanish 1. A continued emphasis is placed on the development of the four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing within cultural contexts. More formal grammar is presented in Spanish 2 and is practiced through both oral and written communication. In addition, emphasis is on development of sequential composition skills.

III. Course Goals

The World Language Department has adopted the five goal areas of the ACTFL (American council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages), also known as the five C’s of foreign language education.

•           Communication (face-to-face, in writing or through the reading of literature)
•           Cultures (gain knowledge and understanding of the cultural contexts in which language occurs)
•           Connections (to other bodies of knowledge in the target language)
•           Comparisons (and contrasts, to provide a multi-faceted view of the world)
•           Communities (participation with language in a variety of contexts, both in and beyond the classroom, and in culturally appropriate ways)

These goals are tied to national and state standards, which have various progress indicators across the continuum of foreign language learning, from levels one through five, for all languages.
