SPA2Y: Introductory Spanish in hybrid format

TR 9:00‐10:20A 105 Olson (CRN: 50604)

Spanish 2Y is the first of two Introductory Spanish courses offered in an hybrid format (created by Robert Blake, rjblake@ucdavis.edu). You will work independently with the iCultura online materials--Vocabulario and Gramática--, as well as view original video recordings. In addition, you will come to class with your instructor, Rebeca Rubio (rerubio@ucdavis.edu) two days a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9am to 10.20am in Olson 105. You will also chat online in small groups of 3 students for 50 minutes once each week using ZOOM.

The first class meeting is Thursday September 22 at 9am in 105 Olson.

The course materials and exercises focus on developing the same array of speaking, listening, reading and writing skills promoted in traditional SPA 2 classes but through a hybrid format. Students are expected to learn to use Spanish for meaningful communication as well as to develop an understanding of basic grammatical concepts and an appreciation of the various cultures of the Spanish-speaking world. The vocabulary has been selected from the most frequent 1,500 words in Spanish.
