Spanish I CP

Spanish I is an introduction to the Spanish world, its language and its people. The main emphasis is on vocabulary and oral skills while developing reading and writing skills. The student will recognize the interrelationships of languages and will develop a cultural appreciation of the Hispanic world. The focus of this course is on low novice proficiency.

Students will have one Vista Higher Learning text for this class.  The hard cover book Descubre (ISBN 1-60007-410-3).  The standard package for purchase (you may see online at (http://www.vhldirect.com/program.php?pid=23) also includes the computer companion Super Site for level one and is required.  If you would like to have other resources, Vista Higher Learning has serveral online to accompany the student text for additional outside practice and study.

At all levels students are graded using a variety of assesment methods.  Students may be graded using an old fashion pencil and paper test, a more modern use of oral recordings, plus the super site activities, their ability on a formal writing assignment or a cultural production. 

Daily study of vocabulary is very important.  For each student to be successful and enjoy the class, they need to understand what is being said and asked of them.  Our goal is to give the students an immersion experience.

Basic concepts studied in level one include but are not limited to; subject verb agreement, subject adjective agreement, verb conjugations in the present and past tenses and adverb phrases
