By Spanish IV you have become an effective communicator in Spanish, not only in speaking, but in writing. Now is the time to take these skills even further and think about how you are planning on using them in the future. The skills that you will acquire in this course will equip you to take your language skills into the real world and apply them effectively. Hopefully, you are already in love with the culture and this class is only giving you more skills to be able to use your Spanish more effectively in a real world context, in the workplace and in furthering God’s kingdom. Spanish IV will certainly expand your language skills. However, it will also take you on a fascinating cultural journey. You’ll experience the language’s rich traditions and superstitions. Through exploring the past, you’ll come to understand the importance of community, family, and personal relationships. You will be immersed in culture—movement, art, music, literature. Meeting real people and hearing their stories will allow you to gain new vocabulary, have better command of the language, and understand your role as a global citizen.
