Rationale: The Spanish Program requires an Advanced Spanish Language course to complement its already existing ESPA 1005: Introductory Spanish and ESPA 2005: Intermediate Spanish. Progressing to the advanced level is the next step in language learning. A growing number of students coming from southern communities where Spanish is taught in high school have requested advanced courses in Spanish language to broaden their skills in reading, writing, listening comprehension and speaking. This course can be taught by a regular faculty member and offered on a regular rotation schedule.
