Course Description
Spanish 3
Welcome to Spanish at Penn State. Spanish 3 is a course for students who are native speakers of a language other than Spanish. Two hours of the 4-credit one semester courses are completed in class and the rest (instruction + homework) is fulfilled on-line. The purpose of this course is to develop and improve communication skills when listening, reading, speaking, and writing in Spanish. The course follows a communicative information-based task approach, which springs from the idea that languages are best learned when real world information becomes the focus of students’ activities. Therefore, during the semester, you will exchange real-life information about yourself and your classmates.
Spanish 003 is designed for students who have successfully completed Spanish 002 at PSU, or the equivalent level at another university. For students who have taken and successfully completed 4 years of high school Spanish within four years immediately preceding admission to college, Spanish 003 is the minimum entry level course. Students with course work equivalent to the level of Spanish 003 will not receive credit for Spanish 003. Also, individuals who have taken the AP exam and have received a score of 4 or above or who have taken the IB exam, and have received a score of 5 or higher on the Higher Level exam will receive the 12 credits required to fulfill the language proficiency requirement and will therefore not be able to take Spanish 3 for credit. There are no exceptions to this policy.
