IBMYP Introduction to Spanish for Fluent Speakers

This course would provide students identified as heritage or native speakers of Spanish (by identification procedures such as the Home Language Survey, transcripts, and/or student interviews or questionnaires) with an opportunity to learn & build upon skills of interpersonal listening and speaking in Spanish, with an emphasis on reading and writing (to include grammatical concepts), all while instilling pride in a rich heritage. The goal is for native or heritage speakers of Spanish to prepare for Spanish for Fluent Speakers I by building on their existing listening and speaking skills, and to develop reading and writing skills with an emphasis on grammatical concepts.
