Core
Spanish II
Building on Spanish I concepts, Spanish II students learn to communicate more confidently about themselves, as well as about topics
beyond their own lives - both in formal and informal situations. Each lesson presents vocabulary, grammar, and culture in context,
followed by explanations and exercises. Students expand their vocabulary in topics such as cooking, ecology, geography, and
architecture. Instruction in language structure and grammar includes a review of present-tense verb forms, an introduction to the
past tense, the conditional mood, imperatives, impersonal constructions, and reported speech. Students deepen their knowledge of
Spanish-speaking regions and cultures by learning about history, literature, culture, and contemporary issues.
The material in this course is presented at a moderate pace.
The content is based on the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) standards.
