Native Language 1 is a beginning level course intended for native speaking students who have limited language art skills in Spanish or need to continue developing NLA skills until the full mastery of English is attained. The curriculum has a basic concentration in the areas of reading, writing, listening, and speaking. This is a fully integrated language arts program; therefore, it includes instruction, reinforcement, application of reading skills and vocabulary enrichment; lessons in grammar, including usage and mechanics; varied experiences in communication skills using multi-media aids, and an in-depth study of literary materials. This program presents, as part of its curriculum a study of linguists and structure, and a history of the Spanish language, including an emphasis on the Spanish/Hispanic/Latino culture. This course is conducted exclusively in Spanish.
