Continues to build proficiency as defined by the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines.

During this class with Dr. Casado-Fuente, we once again got the opportunity to work in groups throughout the semester. I enjoy the this technique, since we are able to communicate more freely and have more contact with our classmates. We got to practice our grammar a lot. We had bi-weekly assignments.This class was easy to follow and comprehend. Dr. Casado-Fuente made the class entertaining by having common sayings at the beginning of each class and having us identify the real meaning behind them. The ultimate goal of the class was to improve our writing and speaking skills. We had plenty of presentations and a final project. The project was to be presented in our groups. We got to pick our own topics, my group chose Colombia.
