Students wishing to enroll in a lower-division course that does not directly follow their last completed course in the regular sequence must consult with an appropriate faculty member of the Department of Modern Languages prior to enrollment. Students who have achieved some proficiency in a foreign language through other means than academic courses must also consult with an appropriate faculty member of the Department of Modern Languages prior to enrollment. Please call 303-556-4893 for further information. http://www.ucdenver.edu/academics/colleges/clas/departments/modernlanguages/students/policies/pages/studentplacement.aspx Objectives: To build basic competency in speaking, reading, listening and writing; to develop a broad knowledge of Hispanic culture. Chapter objectives include describing physical and personality traits; expressing likes and dislikes; describing physical, emotional, mental, and other states and conditions; describing routines and customary activities in the present and the past; talking about future plans. Listening and speaking practice in class, along with some CDs, will assist the development of your speaking and listening skills. Our approach will be largely communicative; that is, we will speak only Spanish in the classroom and class time will be devoted to improving communication skills.
