The emphasis of Spanish III is the strengthening of the three modes of communication. The Spanish III student will read and discuss a variety of cultural and literary selections. Level III students are expected to reach a proficiency level of Intermediate Low to Intermediate Mid. Students at the Intermediate Mid proficiency level express meaning in a variety of contexts by creating with the language, easily combining and recombining what they know, what they read, and what they hear in a mixture of sentences and connected discourse. Intermediate Mid students are able to understand information from connected statements in oral or written sources. Intermediate Mid students are generally understood by listeners and readers unaccustomed to dealing with language learners. Intermediate Mid students are mostly successful when performing Intermediate-level tasks.
