The goal of Spanish courses is to enable students to interact
successfully with native speakers and to relate language
behavior to real-world situations. The regular academic courses
meet on a daily basis. The conversation courses differ from the
academic courses primarily in breadth. They are usually taught
in the Spanish 101 or 201 sequences in the fall quarter and
thereby complete a one-year program in Spanish in fulfillment of
the requirement at many four-year college universities. Students
may generally be placed in these Spanish courses as outlined by
the following: - SPAN 101: No Spanish to one year of high school
Spanish - SPAN 102: Two or more years of high school Spanish -
SPAN 103: Three or more years of high school Spanish - SPAN 201:
Four or more years of high school Spanish NOTE: The above
Spanish courses are not open to native speakers of Spanish
(Heritage Speakers). Courses for native speakers include SPAN
231, 232, & 233 (see Spanish for Heritage Speakers below).
