Course Description

Spanish is a Romance language evolved from Vulgar Latin spoken in the Iberian Peninsula. The dialect of the Castile region, mixed with Vulgar Latin and Arabic, formed the standardized Spanish language of the 11th century.
Currently the Spanish language is the second language with the largest population of native speakers (after Chinese). On the internet it is the second most consulted language on Wikipedia. 21 countries have Spanish as their official language, (about 500 million), in addition there are many areas where Spanish is spoken, as is the case of the Spanish Sahara, or due to the influence of Hispanic migration, as in the case of Miami.
For this reason, this course is focused on developing the skills that will help you communicate in Spanish.
The course will focus on increasing the communication skills acquired in Kokusai Komunikeshon I, in the first semester it will focus on the present tense, and in the second it will focus on the past. By reinforcing Listening and Reading Comprehension skills, students will practice their Oral and Written Expression skills always focusing on communication.
Through songs, DVDs and other audiovisual materials, emphasis can be placed on increasing oral communication skills. In each class there will be role plays (roll-play).
At the end of the first semester, students will be able to maintain an oral communication on everyday topics and at the end of the second semester they will be able to explain events that occurred or customs in the past.
