Course Description
Teacher in Charge:
In 10 Spanish students learn to communicate in spoken and written Spanish about their everyday lives. They develop communication skills as they work with other students in pairs or small groups. They use technology and information to help their communication and begin to develop cross-cultural awareness as they realise that a language is a system of thought which opens a window to another culture.
