COURSE DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES:
The main goal of
this course is to learn essenctial vocabulary to develop proficiency in the
understanding and use of Spanish. The
course will give you the opportunity to express yourself in Spanish. The book
is abundant in communicative activities. The chapters are organized around
contemporary culture and everyday themes. In grammar, we will study the verbs
saber vs. conocer, object pronouns, past tense, and reflexive verbs. In
culture, you will read about several Spanish speaking countries. The course is
designed to promote the enhancement of integrated skills encouraging all
students to build on their linguistic competence, focusing on oral competency,
grammar, composition and syntax, and on the expansion of knowledge in cultural
literacy.
Should the student
have doubts with regard to placement, s/he ought to let the professor know on
the first day of classes.
CATALOG DESCRIPTION: The emphasis is on the student's oral ability to use
basic vocabulary and fundamental patterns of the language. Limited reading and
writing of material practiced orally. The laboratory is continuously utilized.
Offered Fall and Spring.
SUNY STUDENTS LEARNING OUTCOME:
Students will demonstrate basic proficiency in the understanding and use of a second language and knowledge of the distinctive features of cultures associated with the language they are studying.
This course fulfills the LA, FL2 General Education Foreign Language Requirement.
PROCEDURES:
A. There are three class meetings and independent language work required each week. The thorough preparation of grammar units and daily assignments in the textbook is to be done before and outside of class. The class hour is reserved primarily for teaching and hands-on practice so regular and relevant class participation and punctual attendance are vital to succeeding in the course. All four major skills, speaking, listening, reading and writing will aim to be used on a daily basis.
B. Some of the exercises and activities in the textbook will be practiced in class on the days assigned to each unit. For each chapter, you are required to do the iLearn exercises assigned. Best results will be obtained by doing a couple of pages each night, rather than doing an entire homework assignment the night before the class. Plan on studying at least two hours (if not three) of undivided attention per day.
ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS:
Each and every student is expected to be actively involved in the
unfolding of class activities. (All students are expected to bring the textbook
to each class and complete their tests and assignments on time.) Active
Involvement means the greatest possible participation by all members of the
class. Through abundant opportunities for self-expression and discussion,
students will be encouraged to draw on their personal knowledge, experience and
interests, and to communicate this to their peers. Through oral reports,
classroom activities, and small group work, a class can become a community. As
Spanish is used predominantly throughout the course, it becomes the means by
which that community communicates, thus gaining relevance and meaning for each
one in the class.
Requirements:
-ATTENDANCE is
the extremely important in a second language course. If you are absent, you are not participating
or practicing; consequently, the learning process becomes more difficult. If you have missed 25% of scheduled class
meetings, please withdraw from the class at the registrar’s office. I will not do it for you. If you still appear in my roster, I will have
to give you an “E” grade.
Any absence needs
to be explained (e-mail me). Three or more absences need legal documentation
otherwise final grade starts to drop.
Participation and class attendance are determinant in any final grade
decision.
-BE ON TIME for
class; I will call or mark attendance at the beginning of class. If you are not
there, you will be marked absent unless you see me after class and remind me of
your presence. If you have a pattern of
being late, your final grade will drop.
-TAKE TEST AND
EXAMS ON THE SCHEDULE DATES, Unexcused absences will not allow you to take the
missed evaluation. . Please ask me frequently about your missing work and, if
possible, we will arrange some time to be completed.
-PARTICIPATE IN
CLASS, there will be oral exercises when your participation is essential for
the development of the course. If you do
not try to speak out in class, your participation grade will be affected.
-DO THE HOMEWORK:
There will be daily homework assigned in class and there will be weekly
homework assigned on iLrn, which will be due before the first day of class of
each week. Most of the exercises on iLrn are machine-graded and if you do not
do them on time, your activities will not be graded. Ilrnprovides immediate
feedback so you can monitor your progress.
-QUIZZES AND
EXAMS: There will be three chapter exams (30%) and a comprehensive/cumulative
final exam, which will count for 15% of your final grade.
ORAL
PRESENTATIONS: Prepare your presentations. Do not readthem.
-NO ACADEMIC
DISHONESTY
I will follow guidelines from Faculty Handbook
concerning the matter. Be careful with relying on Internet translators, those
are not good and you don’t need them; neither rely on tutors or siblings
writing for you at a more advanced level.
-MUST TAKE
SPANISH PLACEMENT TEST AT THE BEGINNIG OF THE SEMESTER IN ORDER TO FIND OUT IF
YOU ARE TAKING THE APPROPIATE CLASS FOR YOUR PROFICIENCY LEVEL
-IF AN INCOMPLETE
GRADE IS NEEDED MUST BE ARRANGED TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO FINALS AND DUE TO
CIRCUNSTANCES BEYOND YOUR CONTROL STUDENT DEVELOPMENT OFFICE MUST BE INFORMED
ABOUT THE PROBLEM.
-IF YOU BELIEVE
TO HAVE ANY DISABILITY THAT REQUIRES SPECIAL ACCOMODATIONS, PLEASE REPORT TO
THE OFFICE OF STUDENT DISABILITY SERVICES 209 ALUMNI HALL.
-CELL PHONES OFF PLEASE. NO TEXT MESSAGING.
