COURSE
DESCRIPTION:
An introductory course to the Spanish language and the culture of its speakers. The purpose of Spanish 120 is to facilitate the practical application of the language in everyday oral and written communication at the beginning novice level. Since the focus will be on basic communication skills, the class will be conducted in Spanish as much as possible. While becoming familiar with the Spanish speaking world, students will learn structures that will enable them to function in Spanish in everyday contexts.
COURSE
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES:
Students will be able to communicate, both orally
and in writing with Spanish-speaking persons about common, everyday topics.
Students will be able to discuss and relate to Hispanic culture. Students will
complete lessons 1-6 in the texts and additional handouts.
ATTENDANCE
AND PARTICIPATION:
Students must attend class. Regular attendance is
expected of every student. You will be dropped from class due to poor
attendance. When unexcused absences exceed the number of hours that a class
meets in one week (5), or the instructor judges a student’s absences to be so
excessive as to make it impossible for the student to complete the course
successfully, the instructor must drop the student from the class. The student
who has been absent due to illness or medical treatment should inform the
instructor as to the cause of the absence.
Students are expected to come to class prepared to
participate in oral and written work based on assignments. Oral as well as
written participation make up part of your final grade. Class activities are an
essential component in your learning the language and you have to be present to
benefit from them, thus attendance is very important.
HOMEWORK/ASSIGNMENTS:
Students are expected to do the assigned written and
oral homework. The written homework as specified in the syllabus is from the textbook.
The supplementary material/worksheets (3rd part of the
purple workbook) will be assigned by the teacher weekly. All written homework
is due on the day specified in the syllabus. Be prepared to review and practice
orally in class. Any supplementary worksheets must be turned in. Include the
homework assignment number in large bold numbers and the time of the
class on all homework submitted to receive credit. No late homework is
accepted. NO EXCEPTIONS!
The Workbook and Laboratory
Manual that are the first and second sections in your purple workbook should
be kept up to date by every student. You are to do all the exercises in your
workbooks. You are responsible for correcting them using the Answer Key in the
back of the workbook. They will be collected and graded upon completion of each
chapter. As we do each lesson in the textbook, you are to do the corresponding
lesson in your workbooks. The audio tapes to complete the Laboratory Manual are
available in the CALM section of the LRC. You may high-speed duplicate the
tapes and complete the workbook at your convenience. You can also buy a set of
7 CDs to compete the Lab Manual for $14.00.
A journal should be kept by every student.
The topics are in this handout. It is due the day of your vocabulary
quiz. It must be written in pen in a “Blue Book” or typed and
submitted in a folder. Throughout the course there will be in-class
compositions and dictations.
02-0209-012
LANGUAGE:
Spanish is the language which will be used during
the course. The instructor will use Spanish when lecturing, asking questions
and responding; you are expected to do the same.
ADDITIONAL
PRACTICE AND RESOURCES:
Computer aided practice is available at the
Instructional Multimedia Resource room located in the LRC. Students may use
other interactive software programs to aid in composition writing, idioms,
grammar review, and the history, culture and geography of the Spanish-speaking
world. There is a word processing program that allows typing in over 30
languages including Spanish. You can also do the interactive computer exercises
using the CD ROM for Puntos de Partida available in the Instructional
Multi-media Center of the LRC (Learning Resource Center).
Tutorial help is available in the LRC free of
charge, however, the number of students that will be tutored will be limited.
If you think you might need a tutor during the semester, sign up as soon as
possible.
GRADING AND
EVALUATION:
There will be a written exam after each of the seven
chapters and a comprehensive final. Student oral competency plays an integral
part of the course grade. You will be required to practice Spanish in and
outside of class. There will be oral evaluations periodically throughout the
semester. For the midterm and final oral interviews, it is the responsibility
of every student to make an appointment with the instructor. Each interview
will be ten to fifteen minutes long. The oral midterm will be an interview in
class. The final will be a person to person interview. There will be no
make-ups of quizzes or exams, however, students may drop one chapter exam
grade/score. Any exam not taken within ONE
week will automatically turn into a letter grade of “F”. No late assignments are
accepted. Grades will be determined as follows:

PHILOSOPHY OF TESTING IN FOREIGN
LANGUAGE:
A test is a reflection and extension of the
instruction you receive in class. It is not a repetition of it. The role of
language instruction is to provide you, the students, a format in which to
develop communicative language abilities. As students, your role is to take
advantage of the opportunities provided through the instruction. The role of
the test, then, is to measure and gauge
the extent to which an individual student has benefited from or taken advantage
of the instruction. It is not a concern with mastery of the material in the
sense of your ability to memorize and regurgitate it. What I am interested in
is whether or not you have integrated the
material. Have you put the pieces together? Can you create with the
language? In other words, there is instruction and then there is YOU.
What can you do with the instruction you have been provided?
ACADEMIC ACCOMMODATIONS:
Students with
disabilities who may need accommodations in this class are encouraged to notify
the instructor and contact Disabled Students Programs and Services (DSP&S)
early in the semester so that reasonable accommodations may be implemented as
soon as possible. Students may contact DSP&S in person in room 110 or by
phone at (619) 644-7112 (voice) or (619) 644-7119 (TTY for deaf).
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:
Cheating and plagiarism can
result in any one of a variety of sanctions. Such penalties may range from an
adjusted grade on the particular exam, paper, project or assignment to a
failing grade in the course at the discretion of the instructor subject to
certain conditions. The instructor may also summarily suspend the student for
the class meeting when the infraction occurred as well as the following class
meeting; extreme cases can result in extended suspension or expulsion as
stipulated by the college’s Disruptive Student Behavior Policy. Disruptive
behavior, or deliberate falsification of information are bases for dismissal
from class and/or from the college for the duration of the semester.
BEEPERS AND
CELLULAR PHONES:
As a courtesy to the class
and the instructor, turn OFF all beepers and
cellular telephones before entering the class.
FINAL EXAMINATION:
You are required to take the
final exam at the scheduled time and date.

"How To Learn a Foreign
Language"
Foreign Language study
requires a unique degree of cooperation and communication between student and teacher.
Here are a few helpful suggestions to make your Foreign Language class easier
and more rewarding!
1. Make a constant effort to understand everything
that is said in class. The classroom is your primary source of information for
all first-year studies. You snooze, you
lose!
2. Ask
questions any time there are points you don't understand in class or in the
text. You learn the most from questions that you formulate yourself. What you don't know . . . ask!
3. Do
all exercises as they are assigned and make sure you understand the
instructions. Homework and class assignments are designed to teach you specific
language structures and to give you practice for mastering a new language. If you want to learn it . . . you've got to
earn it!
4. Do
not fall behind in your work! "Catching up" is extremely
difficult to do in an elementary language class. Maximum contact with the
material and attendance in class is very important in order to learn everything
you will need to speak, write and understand a new language. Unlike many of
your other classes, you cannot miss a foreign language class and stay home and
read a chapter you missed because you won't understand what you're reading! Stay up, don't catch up! (But if you
miss anything . . . make it up ASAP!)
5. It
is important that you remember all that you possibly can from each
class. Language is a cumulative skill that requires you to know and use
everything you will have learned from the first day on. You must not only understand
the material, you must also learn how to use it. Speak and write as much and
as often as you can in the foreign language you are studying. This is the
best way to make it your language! You
don't just have a language . . . you use it!
6. Read
the grammar explanations and reading lessons out loud at home after you have
gone over them in class. You will improve your comprehensive reading skills as
well as your pronunciation. Hear
it . . . see it . . . read it . . . say it . . . learn it . . . use
it . . . own it!
7. Read
slowly and carefully at first. Be more concerned with comprehension than with
speed. Your reading rate will naturally increase as you become more familiar
with your new language. You're a baby in
this new language . . . but you'll grow!
8. There
is an enormous amount of new material to learn when you study a new language.
Grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, culture, literature, reading, writing!
Don't be afraid of your feelings of confusion at first. It is only through the
organization of all these confusing elements that you will make progress.
Asking questions is the best way to replace confusion with understanding. Language is like juggling . . . you've got
to keep it all working together!
9. Finally,
don't be disappointed if your progress seems slow at first. Learning a new
language takes a lot of time and hard work, but it can be done! You will be
surprised how much you will have learned after only a few weeks! By following
your teacher's instructions and using the helpful hints on this page, you will
progress rapidly and soon be ready to communicate with a whole new world
of people! If you try . . . you can do
it!
Relax, Have Fun,
and Learn!
SUGGESTIONS FOR STUDYING A
FOREIGN LANGUAGE
LANGUAGE IS A COMPLEX SET OF HABITS WHICH MAKES
COMMUNICATIONS POSSIBLE
The learning of a second
language is not a random process. It is rigorous and subjected to laws of
combined order and dynamism. "Learning French" means the acquisition
of four skills: LISTENING (the ability to understand spoken French)CSPEAKINGCREADINGCWRITING. Although there are
no magic answers to make everything easy and painless, the following
suggestions are offered to enable you to work more efficiently.
1. LISTEN AND IMITATE: Listen attentively
to someone who speaks the language and imitate him as exactly as you can.
Language learning is a matter of performing habits so well learned that they
become automatic. Use the facts learned in one class over and over again until
it becomes second nature.
2. PRACTICE!
PRACTICE! PRACTICE! Make full use of class time: When another student is
reciting, recite mentally along with him; you could have new material half
memorized before you go home. At home, practice the material you heard in class
over and over again until it becomes second nature.
3. MEMORIZECCONCENTRATE: As you memorize, think
about the grammatical explanations which accompany each set of new material.
True, grammar is not an aim in itself. Its directions, however, can speed up
the learning process considerably. LEARN TO CONCENTRATE. The ability to think
about the structure of a language is the one big advantage you have over a
child learning to speak.
4. DIVIDE
MATERIAL INTO SMALL UNITS: Do not try to memorize a large body of material
at once. Break it up into small units; memorize each of these separately then
string them together. Also, divide your study time into small units as well.
5. When
studying at home, read your lessons and exercises ALOUD.
6. Increase
your vocabulary, but learn sentences, not just words out of context.
7. If, at
any time, you do not understand what is being said in French, you must ask
immediately. Know what is going on.
8. Your
success in this course depends partly upon the amount of work YOU do at home.
In the early stages, most of your homework will be practicing orally what has
been done in class. Other homework will consist of copying sentences, reading
aloud, grammar drills and exercises, compositions, etc.
9. Language
learning is a HIGHLY CUMULATIVE PROCESS. It is important not to fall
behind. Cramming for a language exam is as sensible as cramming for a swimming
test. Do a conscientious job on each lesson as it is assigned, then spend a
little extra time on review. If you experience any difficulty, contact your
teacher as soon as possible.
10. The
amount of language you learn depends on your active participation in repetition
and exercises, at home and in class.
