SPN 104 Spanish Agriculture/Horticulture I

This course introduces basic structures of Spanish in order to help students communicate basic ideas in an agricultural or horticultural context. Although the class will focus mostly on oral communication, all language skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) will be used in order to teach students through a communicative approach. The class provides a background of Hispanic populations, especially those largely represented in the U.S. population. This is NOT a conversation class, but there is an emphasis on oral communication. The class will be conducted mainly in Spanish. Students with previous knowledge of Spanish are encouraged to take the placement examination.
