This course is a fully integrated, introductory Spanish course. The course is designed for beginning Spanish students with little or no prior knowledge of Spanish. It is directed to students whose learning objectives and needs are in any of the following categories: for Spanish-language students, for business purposes, as well as for travelers. The emphasis is to develop a proficiency in basic communicative skills concentrating on the dynamic application of the living language taught through dialogue, phonetics, and vocabulary. A strong grammar foundation and other basic language skills are taught through actual phrases and sentences helping the student develop an instinctive sense of the correct usage. Language laboratory activities are part of the course reinforcing class content. These objectives will be achieved through the following approaches: speaking, listening, reading, writing, and cultural appreciation. Effective Fall 2023: this is a CCSNH Access course and will display on transcripts, count as credits attempted, and count towards the cumulative grade point average for all seven colleges: Great Bay, Lakes Region, Manchester, Nashua, NHTI, River Valley, and White Mountains. Students cannot receive credit for more than one of the CCSNH Access courses or equivalents and the most recent course on the college transcript will be used in the cumulative grade point average (CGPA) calculation. For graduation residency purposes, only Access courses owned by the campus where the student is matriculated will be used to meet the requirements.
