Beginning Spanish for Social Services I

Catalog description

This is an introductory course designed for students in the social services professions who seek basic conversational skills in Spanish. It affords students the opportunity to practice speaking, listening, reading and writing skills in Spanish, as well as gain knowledge and understanding of the culture in a wide variety of practical contexts. Students will be presented with everyday situations that pre-professionals and professionals may encounter when dealing with Spanish-speaking clients, patients, and personnel in the U.S. at work settings such as hospitals, schools and social service offices. Particular emphasis is placed on the systematic mastery of practical vocabulary for on-the-job situations and the application of grammatical structures in conversational situations. SPA 1050 is intended for students with little or no previous experience in the language. SPA 1050 is equivalent to SPA 1010 or SPA 1030 and students can take only ONE of these courses.
