The level 4 course continues to develop students’ proficiency in the target language.  Students will refine their listening, writing and reading skills with the emphasis on developing students’ communication skills in the target language through the primary use of comprehensible input strategies and curriculum.

 

Students will be reading and discussing short stories, novels, short articles, and authentic material to enhance communication skills. The course will be taught using comprehensible input in the target language through storytelling, question and answer exercises, class discussions, and role-playing activities. These activities will allow students to develop more vocabulary, practice pronunciation, and refine listening and reading comprehension skills. In addition, students can expect writing assignments, reading and listening to authentic materials, as well as grammar lessons as they relate to topics studied. Students will be exposed to culture, history and geography of countries where the target language is spoken. This course is designed to prepare students to apply their language skills in the real world and/or to continue studying in college-level courses.
