In this course students will enhance their oral proficiency through

to show how Spanish sounds are produced, how they fall into
patterns, and how they change in different environments. Students
will explore contrasts between Spanish and English sound patterns
and some major dialectal differences will also be introduced. Major
attention is devoted to practice with corrective exercises. A
placement exam or SPA202 is required before registering for this
course. Fulfills the intercultural awareness core requirement. (3
