Florida Atlantic offers unique Spanish placement exams for Second-Language Learners and Spanish Heritage Learners. Read the description of each and indicate which applies to you.
A Second-Language Learner of Spanish is someone who grew up in a household or linguistic community where Spanish was not the primary language or one of the primary languages. For example, if you did not speak Spanish in your household, but you spoke English or French (or any other language), this is the right placement exam. In this case, the placement exam will direct you to enroll in SPN 1120/1121/2220/2221/2161/3400 etc.
A Spanish Heritage Learner grew up in a home where Spanish was frequently spoken by family members. The student may speak Spanish, understand some of it, or have limited knowledge of the language.
The following one-question survey will direct you to the correct placement exam:
