Spanish

The main course objective is to continue introducing students to the main requirements for successfully conducting business in Spanish: 1. the cultural and practical aspects of business in Spain and Latin America, and 2. the vocabulary and structures needed to communicate in a business setting. In addition to a basic text, role-playing and case studies, the study of authentic documents will be used to advance both knowledge and skills in areas such as preparing a resume, communicating by phone, fax, letter, matters concerning banking, advertising, marketing and other topics of interest to business institutions as well as the household budget.
