Spanish: Intermediate II

Spanish: Intermediate II begins with a review of vocabulary and structures covered in Novice Spanish and expands upon those skills. Short literary excerpts are introduced and writing exercises may include compositions or journal work. Spanish is the primary language of instruction as students learn through listening, speaking, reading, and writing activities. Classes also include exposure to the richness and variety of Hispanic cultures. Music, games, and projects are among the tools used to foster an environment of engaged language learners.

Students are expected to take an active role on a daily basis by working in groups, in pairs, or as individuals. Successful language acquisition requires systematic review and practice outside the classroom as well as diligent preparation of daily homework assignments. Homework might include listening, reading, writing, and speaking assignments. Evaluation is based on daily aural/oral and written assessments, quizzes, dialogues, skits, and a test following each chapter. A cumulative exam is administered at the end of each term.

Spanish: Intermediate II consists of 4 possible mods.  Students will be placed into the appropriate mod based on performance on a placement test or performance in a previous George School Spanish course.  Students will continue taking Spanish: Intermediate II until they reach the necessary proficiency for Spanish: High Intermediate, SL Spanish, HL Spanish, or Current Events.
