Courses
Prerequisite: SPAN 201 C. Term hours: 90 lecture. This course is designed for students who are fluent in spoken, informal Spanish and who need to improve their writing, reading, and grammar skills. It furthers the mastery of formal, written communication in Spanish at the intermediate/advanced level while integrating in Hispanic, Latin American, and Chicano culture through increased practice in intermediate/advanced level readings. The course focuses on language challenges that Spanish speakers still encounter at the intermediate/ advanced level, such as orthography, the inappropriate mix of English and Spanish in specific contexts, and standard Spanish as contrasted to regional variations. This course is conducted entirely in Spanish. Duplicate credit not given for SPAN 203 C. (UC Credit Limitation/CSU, AA GE, CSU GE, IGETC)
