Course Description
This course is intended for persons with no prior knowledge of Spanish. Therefore, it is aimed at
developing basic communicative competence in the target language by equipping students with both the
receptive skills (listen, read) and the productive skills (speak, write) to function in common real-life
situations where the target language is used. It is also expected to serve as a foundation course for
continued studies in the language.
