Spanish 1

Spanish 1--Beginning Spanish: The first of a multi-year sequence designed to help students reach an A2 level on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL) scale. Students will study Hispanic culture, make comparisons with American culture, learn the differences between English and Spanish grammar, and connect with others through spoken and written Spanish. Classes will consist of two 75 minute online sessions each week to be conducted online using Zoom's whiteboard, written chat, and audio functions. Class time will be devoted to conversational practice, listening comprehension exercises, oral presentations, explanations of grammar and related exercises, translating, and reading aloud, and discussing simple texts written in Spanish. Time will also be spent reviewing homework and addressing students' questions. Homework activities from the textbook or workbooks or teacher-created exercises will be assigned after most classes. Students are also expected to do "copy work" which involves copying vocabulary, verb conjugations, and other grammatical components by hand in order to more strongly commit these to memory.
