International Languages—Level 1

In the Introductory Spanish Language program, students develop their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in order to communicate in the language of study Spanish in a variety of contexts and for a variety of purposes, with a focus on real-life situations and uses. Through their exploration of a wide variety of authentic materials and meaningful activities, students develop not only language skills but also the skills necessary for lifelong language learning. They also acquire an understanding and appreciation of diverse communities around the world where Spanish is spoken, and make connections to their own community.
