This third-level Spanish course will utilize the vocabulary and grammar from levels I & II to create a conversational classroom.  Students will fine-tune aural comprehension skills through a brief review of level I & 2 material. Daily conversational activities will encourage the use of fundamental basics to establish communicative competence. Students will learn how to navigate through more complex texts to increase written comprehension.

The student must have most recently completed Spanish II, or the equivalent, before participating in this class. If the student is not a previous Compass Prep student or has skipped a year of language study, the student must pass a placement test prior to registration.  Please contact the instructor to arrange a testing opportunity.

This second-level language course will continue to increase vocabulary, explore the verb tenses (concentrating on past, progressive and perfect, and future), and engage in frequent conversation in order to better individual fluency. We will develop more complex sentences (verbal and written) using object pronouns, prepositional phrases, and adverbial clauses. The course will also dig deeper into Hispanic culture and current events. Students will learn through written text, conversation, song, and media and will finish the course with more confidence in the target language.

Completion of Spanish 1 IS required. If not a previous Compass Prep student, the student must take a placement test. Please contact the instructor to arrange a testing opportunity before registering for this course.

In ASL 2, we will be taking a significant step. This course is intended to build up everything learned and established in ASL 1 to do one thing – Hold fluent, grammatically accurate conversations. Students will expand on their sign vocabulary knowledge, dive into new intricate topics/concepts, learn how to use general signs in different ways to add clarity to their conversations, learn how to use proper grammar and enhance expressive/receptive skills through class discussions, 1:1 exchanges, and dialogue simulations. The focus on deaf culture in ASL 1 will continue as well. Students will better understand how Deaf individuals perceive specific actions, facial expressions, and gestures during conversations—getting to the point where each student comfortably carries conversations becomes extremely difficult to reach without doing one thing – Relying less on vocal communication and more on visual. The instructor will lead part of this course in American Sign Language. Students will also be asked to sign in to most exchanges with the instructor and their classmates to progress further.

This class is an exciting introduction to the Spanish language and culture. Beginning with the basics of the alphabet and frequently used salutations, we’ll learn a foundation of vocabulary, verbs, and the fundamentals of Spanish grammar (conjugating verbs in present and past tenses, subject/verb and subject/adjective agreement, object pronouns, and idiomatic expressions). Students will learn through written text, conversation, song, and other media outlets. Students will study Spanish-speaking countries and artists throughout the year. Ideally, by the end of the course, the student should be able to have a simple conversation about themselves, their family, and what they like.

There is no prerequisite for this class.
