In Spanish Level III, students continue to build communication skills developed in Levels I and II. Specifically, students participate actively in extended oral and written discourse, using complex and compound sentences to provide information in a coherent and fluent manner. Students narrate and describe present and past events and predict future events. Students develop critiquing skills, explore options in a given situation, and handle difficulties and unexpected events. They also learn to initiate and sustain a conversation, discussion, or debate. Students demonstrate these language functions in various contexts (e.g. artistic, historical, literary, personal, philosophical, political, scientific, social, socio-economic).
