Goals
of Midland's Spanish program
Spanish
is the only language taught at Midland, a philosophical decision based
on our location in California. It is the goal of the Spanish Department
at Midland to graduate students who have become proficient in the four
skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. The first year course
introduces students to the language and culture, and helps them master
basic grammar and vocabulary. The second year course expects students
to master the advanced structures of grammar and to display increased
fluency in the written and spoken use of the language. The junior year,
the entire junior class takes a two week immersion trip to Mexico, regardless
of your level of Spanish participation. At advanced levels, the goal
is to conduct classes entirely in Spanish. All courses use literature
as the basis for the reading element. Advanced Spanish students are
encouraged to take the Advanced Placement Exam.
