Portland Community College | Portland, Oregon

This course requires attendance at synchronous in-person class meetings on campus (days and times are indicated in the schedule of classes) as well as studying and practicing outside of class. Attendance at the synchronous class meetings is required; synchronous class sessions will not be recorded. If you have any questions or concerns in regard to this attendance policy, please contact your instructor.

The time commitment for this course includes the time that you spend in the classroom on-campus (50 minutes per week) plus time spent studying (about one hour outside of class for each credit hour). 

Students are highly recommended to take SPA 101 and SPA 111C simultaneously. SPA 101 is a four-credit course that meets twice a week for 1hr and 50 min (3 hr 40 min/week). Please see the Note in the class schedule for the CRN of your recommended section of SPA 101. The recommended section of SPA 101 meets 30 minutes after your SPA 111C start time, and it’s taught by the same instructor.

Why take SPA 111C? In the conversation class, you will have an opportunity to practice what you are learning in SPA 101. You will be working on your listening and speaking skills with classmates, with your instructor’s guidance and support. Students who don’t take 111C will have 10 hours less of practice of the Spanish language than the classmates who take SPA 111C. SPA 101 + SPA 111C is the perfect combination to develop your communicative skills (aural and oral), and communication is the main goal of our SPA program.
