WL6009, WL7040, WL8040: Spanish Language Arts for Dual Language Immersion

Students taking Spanish Language Arts for Dual Languages will take a sequence of three courses available in each middle school grade level, leading to Advanced Placement Spanish in high school. The emphasis in these courses is on refinement of the four skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing, with a special focus on development of literacy skills. Spanish is used 100% of the class time for instruction and interaction between students. Using a literature-based approach, the goals of the courses are to develop all four language skills as well as expand students' study skills in the areas of critical thinking, summarizing, making inferences, analyzing, and collaboration.
