Articles from Hispanic countries will be used to expose students to a wide range of events and cultural differences. The use of contemporary music and videos will enhance student listening comprehension. This semester’s reading will include one drama, “En la ardiente oscuridad.” Spanish/ Latin American movies will be viewed, for which students will demonstrate understanding by answering focus questions.
