RLSP 104
Intensive Intermediate Spanish, Upper Level Spring 2024
Division I
This is not the current course catalog

This course is a continuation of Spanish 103. During the spring semester we resume our work to expand your proficiency in each of the major skill-groups (listening, speaking, reading and writing) while increasing familiarity with the vibrant cultures of the Spanish-speaking world. Students in both sections of RLSP 104 can once again expect to sample a variety of written and audiovisual media–poems and short fiction, essays, journalism, blogs and film–to deepen their understanding of Hispanic cultures. Students in Spanish 104 can expect to write regularly and to meet with their professor, teaching associate and classmates in varying combinations for four hours each week. This course is designed to prepare students for further literary and cultural studies in Spanish–including the challenges of study abroad–and to hone communication skills that are increasingly essential in professional fields such as medicine, law, and education. Conducted in Spanish. For students who have not taken Spanish 103 at Williams, the departmental placement exam is required for enrollment in 104.
