World Languages
The World Languages in Spanish program at Lake Tahoe Community College provides students
with a broad-based appreciation of the culture, history, literature, and art of Spanish-speaking
countries. Students will complete course work leading to a proficiency in reading,
writing, speaking, and listening skills at the intermediate level according to the American Council on Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) Proficiency Guidelines. The importance of study abroad will be shared with students. All students planning
to obtain a degree in Spanish must meet with a full-time instructor in the department
to establish an individual plan during the first quarter of study.
The Spanish degree is designed to give students a basic understanding of the Spanish language, and to facilitate and promote placement of intermediate proficiency-level Spanish speakers into California's bilingual workplace.
