Students should expect to be actively engaged in their own language learning; become familiar with common vocabulary terms and phrases; participate in simple conversations and respond appropriately to basic conversational prompts; analyze and compare cultural practices, products, and perspectives of various Spanish-speaking countries; and take frequent assessments by which their language progression can be monitored.
