Spanish II

In this continuing introduction to Spanish, students deepen their focus on four key skills in foreign language acquisition: listening comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing. A continuing storyline introduces and reinforces new vocabulary, while activities prompt students to analyze meaning from context, and then to reproduce new vocabulary items in functional real-life oral expression. Additional verb tenses and idiomatic expressions are also introduced. As in Spanish I, students learn grammar through supplemental texts supplying traditional charts, tables, and explanations. Students use an additional handbook that reinforces grammar by aligning Spanish grammatical topics with their English counterparts. Cultural information addresses Spanish as it is used around the globe.
