Prerequisite: IB program completed 4-5 years Spanish courses. Instructor Approval Meets requirement numbers: 1 11 The study of a modern language in this case Spanish entails acquiring a language system and applying it in four active and interrelated ways: through listening speaking reading and writing. These four skills involve exchanging ideas and effective communication. Effective communication in turn involves the intellectual process of understanding how ideas can best be expressed to the audience concerned. Understanding ideas and expressing them clearly and convincingly demands an awareness of the cultural characteristics of the audience. Class will provide the necessary environment for student to continue to practice and perfect these skills in a culturally rich context. Study of modern language at any level should enable students to use it spontaneously and appropriately in unfamiliar as well as in familiar circumstances. Class will reflect a progressively sophisticated domain of communicative proficiency expectations than the standard level IB Spanish courses. Whereas the emphasis in Spanish SL is more practical and social Spanish HL will include communicative experience in more expressive and intellectual domains.
