Lakeland College

Spanish

The curriculum in Spanish is designed to help students acquire basic communication skills in speaking, writing, reading, and listening the Spanish language and develop an understanding of the cultural contributions of both Spain and Latin America. Students with no background in the language begin in the introductory courses, while those with sufficient prior training may start at the intermediate level. Students who complete the intermediate level Spanish courses will have a thorough exposure to the fundamentals of the language as well as some acquaintance with Spanish and Latin American culture. Lakeland’s Spanish program offers students an opportunity to combine a language minor with another area of study where knowledge of a foreign language is an asset or to use their coursework as an integral part of a liberal arts education.

Students are advised to speak with the Spanish instructor or the chair of the Humanities Division for information regarding qualifying for advanced standing credit.
