COURSE OBJECTIVE
To reinforce the student’s known grammatical structures, through “role-playing”
while introducing new concepts of contrasts that will improve his/her
communicative, reading and writing skills. The objective of this course is to place
the student in real situations that will enable him/her to play different roles and
pursue his/her audience of his/her position. We will focus on those lexico-semantic
morphological aspects that seem to be more problematic when learning Spanish
as a second language.
