Section Description
Spanish 2100 is designed to integrate the knowledge attained in the beginning level. In addition to reviewing key grammar points, we will gain practice in developing comprehension strategies through the study of short literary works, film clips and media dealing with current events in the Spanish-speaking world. The primary function of these authentic texts will be to expand the awareness of the diverse identities that form part of the Hispanic World, as well as to allow a space for critical thinking in the target language.
Section Expectation
1. Ask for and express information, preferences, opinions, and suggestions coherently on both personal and some social topics in spontaneous conversation;
2. Express politeness and friendship during conversation using appropriate expressions, and ask clarifying questions to increase or confirm understanding;
3. Understand, briefly summarize, and respond to authentic texts written for a general audience, as well as simple videos, on personal and some social topics;
4. Understand and help to create simple stories and descriptions in multiple time frames;
5. Speak and write with thoughtful consideration of word choice, verb tense, and the main structures of Spanish syntax;
6. Describe differences and similarities between some cultural practices, products or history of Spanish-speaking societies and your own society, expressing your opinions and drawing comparisons.
Evaluation
Grading for this course will be evenly distributed between demonstrating your ability to communicate in writing and in speaking, as well as to comprehend both written and spoken Spanish. Graded assignments include textbook exercises, weekly discussion posts in writing and video, a weekly synchronous online class, a weekly blog post, a weekly written quiz, a weekly recorded video conversation with a small group of your peers, and a final oral exam. This variety of activities ensures that you will advance in proficiency among all language skill sets (speaking, listening, reading, writing) and engage in social learning through interaction with your peers and the instructor.
