This course is specially designed for students who are not true beginners of Spanish and therefore not appropriately placed in 82-141 but who may lack adequate preparation to enter the second semester of Spanish. Students will engage in a rapid review of first-semester Elementary Spanish materials and then progress to complete the entire elementary level of Spanish (the second semester) in one semester. Upon successful completion, students will be prepared to continue at the intermediate level. The course emphasizes the development of communicative proficiency though oral practice, aural comprehension, reading, writing, and study of cultural aspects of Spanish-speaking countries. Pre-requisites: Permission of the instructor and an appropriate placement exam score
