Description
DLP Spanish Language Arts 9 is a continuation of the Dual Language Program Spanish Language Development coursework. This is a course designed to develop and improve a student's reading, writing, speaking and listening skills. This course offers Spanish-speaking students an opportunity to study Spanish formally, in an academic setting, in the same way that English-speaking students study English Language Arts. The Spanish language arts courses will alternate between Latin American and Spanish literature. This will help students further develop their biliteracy language skills, increase academic language, gain exposure to important pieces of text and practice cultural awareness. It will expand their bilingual range and will move them beyond basic language development to a broader command of the language.
