The four courses described were worked out as an alternative to the regular third and fourth year intermediate high school Spanish classes. The approach that was formulated is an attempt to meet the needs of students who are interested in continuing foreign language study on a more limited scale, with particular emphasis on culture. The courses are offered on a semester basis and are independent of each other. The courses deal with the following interests: (1) conversation and composition, (2) the history and culture of Latin America, (3) a survey course on the basic history of Spain from its beginnings to the present, and (4) the cultural aspects of Hispanic life with a major emphasis on art. It is noted that the courses continue to have a strong enrollment and that they benefit both average and above-average students. (AMH)
