    OBJECTIVE:

    This is a beginning course in Spanish intended for students with no previous knowledge of the Spanish language. This course is entirely based on the Georgia Standards in Foreign Language Education which encompasses the instruction of communication, cultures, connections, comparisons and communities. It involves the instruction of the grammar necessary to prepare students to effectively communicate by listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
