Prerequisites: The student must be able to speak and read English. Not open to students with native ability in Spanish. (See SPAN 220). For additional oral practice, concurrent enrollment in SPAN 113 is recommended. The beginning Spanish course is based on a contrastive analysis between Spanish and English and is designed to develop in the English-speaking student rudimentary abilities in the four basic language skills: hearing, speaking, reading, and writing. The main emphasis is on the present tense of both regular and irregular verbs. The student will be familiarized with those features of Hispanic culture which reflect the different frame of reference from which the native speaker of Spanish views the world. (CSU, UC)
