Description
This course is a continuation of Spanish Language, Advanced, Part I. This course comprises a unique approach to continue developing Spanish composition skills to an advanced level through the writing of descriptions, narration, exposition, and argumentation. Students will engage in a distinctive selection of reading materials that will serve as the foundation for attractive discussions and compositional analysis. The textbook used in this course will cover grammar presentations that will focus on usage, vocabulary, and key spelling and punctuation topics, facilitating the grasping of advanced written Spanish. Our exceptional selection of material will prepare the student to become a better writer not just in a classroom environment, but also in real-life situations. This includes academic and non-academic level settings using practical formats such as form letters, newspapers articles, and much more.
Once students have successfully completed this course, they will achieve:
Students will explore cultural topics related to the lesson theme with regional focus. Students will also examine, compare, and reflect on practices and/or perspectives of the target culture and demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between the practices and perspectives of the cultures studied.
This course has synchronous virtual class meetings and students will also schedule one-on-one virtual meetings directly with the instructor and teaching assistant. View the schedule for class meeting times. Meetings will be recorded for students who are unable to attend due to scheduling conflicts.
Virtual classrooms, and student activities in the classroom, may be recorded and added to the course as an ongoing asset for all class students to review. Students may be invited to interact in CTY community spaces that include students and instructors and potentially specially invited guests that are not enrolled in their course. Videos from YouTube or other web providers may be present in the course. Video recommendations or links provided at end of videos are generated by the video host provider and are not CTY recommendations. Student contributions (e.g., projects, forum posts, etc.) may remain in the course after the student completes the course. These artifacts may be preserved to showcase student work or to continue important conversations.
Students will need a headset with microphone. A textbook does not need to be purchased at this time. Students will have access to an online textbook once enrolled in this course.
Although a Spanish-English dictionary is not required, it may be useful as a personal reference for the duration of this course.

Reviews
"I enjoy the course very much. The individual attention during class makes it a very enjoyable hour, and the friendliness and relaxed atmosphere make class something to look forward to each week. I can't wait to continue with the next level!"
"My son's foreign language instructor has had the challenging task of forging bonds with her students without being face-to-face with them in a classroom on a daily basis, while teaching them a language quite different from their native tongue. She has inspired our son with her enthusiasm, her expertise, and her extraordinary conscientiousness, kindness, tolerance, and patience. I have rarely had the pleasure and honor of being the parent of a student with a teacher who goes so far above and beyond."
"I really like this course, and I love the way the teacher teaches it. Her style of teaching makes it easier and more fun to participate."
