Course Syllabus
Abstract
This 2-year course is designed for students with no prior experience in the language. The course starts with introducing pronunciation, reading, typing, and writing. Great emphasis will be placed on pronunciation, listening comprehension, and everyday “survival” language. Through a wide range of learning activities such as daily dictation, oral and written tests, recalling conversations, storytelling, dialogue construction, presentations, the course focuses students towards improving their pronunciation; learning new grammar patterns; and applying the grammar and vocabulary learned. Various supplementary listening materials will be used from the beginning of this course to give students an authentic, practical way to learn correct pronunciation and reinforce class lessons. Additionally, the course will integrate Spanish culture into language learning to enhance the understanding of cultural influence on the language. The course aims providing well-balanced development of the four language skills—reading, writing, speaking, and listening in the Spanish language, while also providing students with a deeper understanding of Spain and its culture.
