The Spanish Program at SmrtzT&T offers students a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the target language, literature, and hispanic culture in a set of language-learning modules. The program offers a series of core school, college and career professional development sessions in Spanish from Novice Low to Advanced High, Superior or even Distinguished Level courses via online and onsite teaching and tutoring sessions. 

A learner-centered approach provides opportunities for students to practice critical and creative thinking, problem solving, and decision making. This involves recall, application, analysis, synthesis, prediction and evaluation; all of which contribute to the development and enhancement of conceptual understandings. A learner-centered approach also encourages students to demonstrate ownership of their ideas and to reflect on and monitor their thinking as they make decisions and take action when speaking a world language different from their own.

The three modes of communication—Interpretive, Interpersonal, and Presentational—defined in the World Readiness Standards for Learning Languages, are foundational to the Spanish Language and Culture course. This course provides students with opportunities to demonstrate their proficiency in each of the three modes in the Intermediate to Advanced range, as described in the ACTFL Performance Descriptors for Language Learners.
