Spanish 5 Honors - Conversational Spanish

Spanish 5 Honors - Conversational Spanish provides students with an opportunity to practice the fluency and pronunciation of the Spanish language in authentic conversations. Each thematic unit allows students to express ideas when engaged in real-world scenarios while focusing on a variety of topics in a culturally appropriate context. Through virtual field trips and other opportunities beyond the classroom walls, students are expected to incorporate formal and informal language and the appropriate register in conversation. Students will continue to use Spanish to access information in other subject areas enhancing their skills and knowledge of the language.
