Introductory Spanish I

Elementary Spanish I is the first of a two-online asynchronous course sequence of beginning Spanish. This course focuses on the rapid and integrated development of the four traditional language skills, listening, reading, speaking, and writing,  as well as a fifth skill: cultural understanding. Through a study of various Spanish-speaking cultures, students will learn to apply the phrases in a meaningful way, emphasizing the correct use of the given phrase or sentence. Students should expect to participate in activities, discussions, projects, and assessments as they progress through this online course. Each assignment and assessment is designed to challenge students to use the vocabulary lessons and grammar skills in a meaningful way as they learn to speak everyday conversational Spanish. Spanish 1 utilizes the open-source textbook Trayectos.
