 * At the end of this course (Spanish 2 – Intermediate Mid level) students will be able to handle successfully a variety of uncomplicated communicative tasks in straightforward social situations if they keep a high average in the class. Conversation will be generally limited to those predictable and concrete exchanges necessary for survival in the target culture; these include personal information covering self, family, home, daily activities, interest and personal preferences, as well as physical and social needs, such as food, shopping, travel and lodging. Intermediate-Mid speakers tend to function reactively, for example, they will be able to respond to direct questions or requests for information. However; they will be capable of asking a variety of questions when necessary to obtain simple information to satisfy basic needs, such as directions, prices and services. Intermediate-Mid speakers will be able to express personal meaning by creating with the language, in part by combining and recombining known elements and conversational input to make utterances of sentence length and some strings of sentences. Their speech may contain pauses, reformulations and self-corrections as they search for adequate vocabulary and appropriate language forms to express themselves. (ACTFL, 1999)
