Spanish Department:

Spanish classes introduce students to speaking, listening, writing, and reading skills. Though conversational skills are emphasized, a considerable amount of written work will reinforce oral work. The class is presented both in Spanish and English by the teacher to expose students to an intensive amount of native spoken Spanish. Classroom work will be supplemented by flash cards, powerpoint presentations, and cultural presentations on the history, geography, climate, customs, food, music, dance, and art of Spanish-speaking countries to enliven language skills. These skills will be challenged and even more emphasized throughout the student's spanish career if they chose to pursue it as the classes progress.
