Minor currently offers French
I, II, and III, and Spanish I, II, and III. Soon there will be a
conversational-based Spanish class that prepares students to have
in-depth conversations in Spanish.
Spanish classes teach students
to listen, speak, read, and write in Spanish. Students practice oral
and written skills and have numerous assignments to reinforce these
skills. Vocabulary, grammar, and cultural knowledge are emphasized.
French classes introduce the
civilization, culture, and language of the French. Oral proficiency is encouraged by the use of
conversational French. There are group and paired activities to
improve oral skills in both language classes. Tests are an important
part of the courses and help the students to speak and write in the
learned language.
