  1. Spanish I and Pre AP course syllabus Sra. Garza

  2. COURSE DESCRIPTION • Course Description: Spanish I consists of the fundamental communication skills of Spanish. The focus will be on listening and speaking, acquiring functional vocabulary and implementing that vocabulary into dialogues. Students will also focus on reading and writing, and study of more advanced language structures to prepare them for level II Spanish. In addition to home work to practice these skills, students will do reading and presentations about the peoples and cultures of Hispanic countries. Students will more familiar with geographic areas of Spanish-speaking countries and their surrounding areas. Students will do some projects and presentations to demonstrate mastery. Students will also work in groups to practice the dialogues and participate in face-to-face communication with students and the teacher. • Spanish II builds on Spanish I skills.

  3. PREREQUISITE • A WILLINGNESS TO LEARN

  4. COURSE OBJECTIVES Students will be able to: • PARTICIPATE IN SIMPLE FACE-TO-FACE COMMUNICATION ABOUT PERSONAL HISTROY OR LEISURE ACTIVITIES • Create and understand simple statements and questions • Understand main ideas and some details of material on familiar topics • Cope successfully in straightforward social and survival situations • Use knowledge of culture in developing communication skills, and use of grammar to increase proficiency and accuracy

  5. Class will be conducted mostly in Spanish • Students have an opportunity to learn Spanish each time we meet. Students are expected to learn the vocabulary and negotiate comprehension through listening and negotiating meaning as the teacher points to something or shows a picture, demonstrates, performs, acts out, etc. • Students are not to expect everything to be translated. Students will make many assumptions. That is ok. For example, if I say “horario” and point to the schedule, they can assume I am saying something about the schedule or that I am saying it is a schedule. Much vocabulary will be heard and learned before we get to certain chapters. Vocabulary used and learned outside the chapter taught at any given time will not be quizzed or tested; however, the student is expected to learn it in order to begin to gain comprehension and fluency in speaking.

  6. Pre Ap • Students taking Pre-AP will have more assignments added to course work. These assigments will include and are not limited to: • Extended listening activities outside of class • Writing activities outside of class • Research outside of class • Questions for discussions • Tests and quizzes will differ in that they are more challenging than on level 1 • Course is more rigorous

  7. Objectives continued Read and write more fluently and accurately in Spanish Express themselves confidently in Spanish

  8. Study habits for language acquisition • Learning vocabulary to begin to speak is important. Students need to study at least 20 min. a day and learn the vocabulary and the dialogs. • Students can make whatever visuals they need to study. (flashcards) for example. • Students need to be aware of their surroundings and see where Spanish is used. This is a fun way to learn vocabulary and sentence structure. • Listen to music and watch Spanish programming helps engage the mind and helps the ear to distinguish sounds. Eventually, one can hear where the words are separated. • Do all required assignments. Sometimes what may seem like busy work has a purpose

  9. Don’t be discouraged • Understand that learning a language takes time and one has to focus and be diligent in study with a purpose • Engage all your senses to learn it • Seek help- attend tutorials if needed, ask questions, prepare before coming to class and know what to ask
