Bienvenidos a la clase de Señora Tavares

¡Bienvenidos a la clase de Español 4.1/4.2!  You are about to embark on a year filled with Spanish language and culture unlike any Spanish class you have taken.  This course will meet you wherever you may be on the road to oral and written fluency.  First, you are the observer of a different culture.  You are going to see how people react and live in certain environments, under certain circumstances, and during different time periods.  You will become familiar with daily conversations in Spanish, while learning new expressions and vocabulary.  Secondly, you will make observations about people and their lives.  Thirdly, your class discussions, individual compositions, and group video projects will revolve around the people/characters, their relationships, situations, and the complications and resolutions or lack of resolutions to their problems
