SPANISH III

Full year - One credit

The prerequisite for this course is Spanish II. In Spanish III, students continue to cover “checkpoint B” of the New York State syllabus. Thematic topic covered include personal identification, daily routine, home life, city life, leisure activities, food, health, style, travel and earning a living. Oral communication in Spanish based on these themes is emphasized, as well as the skills of reading, writing, and listening. Students are introduced to more advanced grammar including the subjunctive mood, the imperative and the perfect tenses. Students are encouraged to interact in an impromptu manner with the teacher and with one another in the target language as much as possible. This course culminates in the New York State Regents examination in Spanish.
