This third-year course continues the proficiency approach to world language study. Listening comprehension and speaking continue to be stressed. The structure of the language is further studied at this level with emphasis placed on verb usage and communication. The class stresses conversational situations. Small group discussions stress practical application of vocabulary and structures mastered in class groups. Multimedia activities in cultural contexts continue to strengthen the four basic skills: reading and writing, speaking and listening. Computer lessons reinforce grammatical points.
