SPA12H and SPA13H are two courses, part of a sequence, designed to meet the needs of native or heritage speakers with a certain degree of oral proficiency. These two courses aim to provide an environment where heritage speakers can build on the language base they already have. Students will have the chance to develop and enhance their reading and writing abilities while further improving their oral skills (listening and speaking) by acquiring new vocabulary and being exposed to different contexts and registers. This sequence promotes to SPA220 (or higher) in the spring term, based on the level of linguistic competence and recommendation by the instructor.
