While emphasizing the Common Core curriculum, Spanish at Monroe Middle School encourages students to make connections with a different culture and take ownership of their education through the development of vocabulary and written and verbal skills in a second language.

This is an introductory class stressing basic language skills and acquisition within a cultural context, including an introduction to the grammar and practical vocabulary necessary for fundamental communication skills. Emphasis will be on the acquisition of four skills: listening, speaking, reading and limited writing. Projects, games, music, videos, and technology tools are incorporated in the curriculum in order to lessons more interactive.

This course will reinforce the skills learned in Spanish 1. Emphasis will be on perfecting pronunciation, mastery of the basic grammatical structures, and acquisition of functional vocabulary. Students will develop their communication through interpersonal speaking and writing. The class will be conducted primarily in Spanish, and students are expected to use the language in class.
