High School Spanish II (Grades 9-12)

Students continue their study of Spanish by further expanding their knowledge of key vocabulary topics and grammar concepts in this high school Spanish course, which is conducted almost entirely in Spanish by the second semester. Students not only begin to comprehend listening and reading passages more fully, but they also are able to express themselves more meaningfully in both speaking and writing. Each unit consists of a new vocabulary theme and grammar concept, reading and listening comprehension activities, speaking and writing activities, interactive cultural presentations and task-based activities to reinforce vocabulary and grammar. There is an emphasis on providing context and conversational examples for the language concepts presented in each unit. Students should expect to be actively engaged in their own language learning, understand common vocabulary terms and phrases, use a wide range of grammar patterns in their speaking and writing, participate in conversations and respond appropriately to conversational prompts, analyze and compare cultural practices and perspectives of various Spanish-speaking countries and take assessments to monitor language growth.

Prerequisite: Spanish I or equivalent
