SP 532 - Medical Spanish II (SP 332)

3.00 credits.

This course is the second in a two-course series designed to re-awaken previous language study and provide a forum for the development of both additional basic language skills and specific medical terminology. The course includes the acquisition of frequently used vocabulary, advanced grammar concepts, intermediate and advanced conversational vocabulary, and colloquialisms. It also includes specific vocabulary groups relating to specialized patient care including cardiology, maternity and pediatrics, endocrinology, and mental health. Most (95%+) of the class will be taught in Spanish and students will be expected to maintain the target language whenever possible. Students will be provided with opportunities to experience the five major areas of language learning: Speaking, Listening, Reading, Writing, and Culture. The major focus will be on Speaking and Listening with Reading and Writing providing concrete practice outside of the classroom. Cultural sensitivity is woven throughout the lessons.

Please note: This course is a hybrid course with lecture/didactic instruction taking place in the asynchronous lessons, and experience-based learning occurring during the weekly scheduled synchronous class meetings via Zoom. It is extremely important that students complete the online materials to successfully participate in activities in synchronous meetings. Prerequisite(s): SP 531 .
