Spanish
Offered at Richmond, Langley, and Surrey
Kwantlen University College offers various levels of Spanish. Since not all courses are offered in every semester or on every campus, language students are strongly advised to seek counselling from members of the Modern Languages discipline before planning their program.
Students with a competence in the language beyond the level of the course in which they are registered will be required to withdraw. Students who are not sure of their language level should contact an instructor.
Course Format
All courses are designed as the first or second half of a one-year unit. The second half should be taken immediately after the first to maintain continuity. Courses offered during the Fall and Spring semesters consist of four hours of class instruction and one hour of lab/conversation per week.
Intensive courses offered during the Summer session consist of eight hours of class instruction and two hours of lab/conversation per week.
