Course Description

SPAN 002A is designed as a continuation of SPAN 001B. This course covers culture and facilitates language acquisition through listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Content is expanded beyond "survival" needs of the immediate environment and covers linguistic functions such as expressing personal opinions, making suggestions on familiar topics, as well as on some abstract issues. The course also analyzes works of cultural and philosophical importance. High frequency structures and high level vocabulary are covered in the course as more complex discourse is presented.
