(European Framework Equivalent A2)
Grades: 9, 10, 11 or 12
Subject Area/Course Credit: World Language, 1 credit
Prerequisite: Spanish A1 or CEFR A1 certificate (or equivalent) or teacher recommendation
Spanish A2 is conducted almost entirely in Spanish, building on acquired competence to progress beyond the beginning stages of language acquisition. Presentation of new language structures is followed by question and answer drills, conversations, written exercises, reading, and composition. Conversational skills are emphasized. Upon completion of this course students will have considerably expanded their vocabulary and be familiar with the following grammar principles: present tense, past tenses, the future tense, reflexive verbs, pronouns (subject and object), prepositions and conjunctions. At the end of the course students are prepared to sit an external examination to receive the European Language certificate, the DELE, corresponding to their current level, if they so choose.
