    Course Description:

    Spanish 201 is an entry-level Spanish course designed to provide the student with the majority of

    the communication tools necessary for understanding and being understood in Spanish. The

    course assumes prior knowledge or experience with Spanish at the 101 and 102 levels. This

    course aims to develop all four language skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. The goal

    of the course is to help students develop the ability to communicate in Spanish, while at the same

    time introducing them to the Hispanic culture. A strong emphasis is placed on using the language

    in practical situations, while also helping students grasp the basics of Spanish grammatical rules,

    word order, and word formation.

    Please keep in mind that Spanish classes are designed to present the basic tools necessary for

    learning Spanish. To be successful in the achievement of the course goals, students shouldactively participate in all in-class learning experiences (e.g., by participating in class discussions,

    being productive in group work, etc.) and they should also take advantage of outside of class

    learning opportunities (e.g., listening to music in Spanish, seeing movies in Spanish, etc.).

    Students do not automatically become fluent/proficient in Spanish by completing the

    introductory Spanish course set. Language acquisition must also occur outside of the classroom.

    Students hoping to become proficient in Spanish are strongly encouraged to participate in study

    abroad programs or in an immersion program. Please contact your instructor for more

    information on such programs.

    Course Goals:

    The following describes the types of tasks that you should be able to accomplish upon

    completion of this course with a passing grade.

    1. Understand the main idea and most of the supporting details of spoken Spanish intended

    for beginning college students regarding topics related to their daily lives and current

    affairs.

    2. Initiate and respond verbally to basic communicative tasks and social situations with

    sufficient accuracy in pronunciation and grammar so as to be understood by persons

    accustomed to interacting with non-native speakers of Spanish.

    3. Read edited written material (e.g., articles, novelettes, short stories, etc.) on topics related

    to everyday uses of the Spanish language and the Hispanic culture with an understanding

    of the main idea and of the supporting details.

    4. Write coherent compositions of several paragraphs on familiar topics with sufficient

    accuracy in grammar, spelling, punctuation, and vocabulary so as to be understood by

    persons accustomed to interacting with non-native speakers of Spanish.

    5. Understand significant cultural traits of the Spanish-speaking world (customs, lifestyles,

    attitudes, geography, famous people, etc.) so as to be able to function appropriately in a

    variety of typical social situations.

    Course Content:

    1. Descriptions of objects, places, people, and events on topics of a subjective nature (e.g.,

    technology, politics, personal relationships, the environment)

    2. Preterit tense

    3. Imperfect tense

    2

    3/12

    4. Subjunctive versus indicative mood in noun, adjectival, and adverbial clauses

    5. Commands

    6. Future tense

    7. Present subjunctive

    8. Present perfect indicative

    9. Present perfect subjunctive10. The writing process in Spanish

    11. Description of cultural norms, values, beliefs, and regional variations of areas where Spanish

    is spoken/used.

    Learning Outcomes:

    Upon successful completion of this course, the learner will be able to:

    1. Describe objects, places, and people with a moderate amount of creativity and improvisation

    on topics of a subjective nature (e.g., technology, politics, personal relationships, the

    environment).2. Narrate a series of events with a moderate amount of elaboration.

    3. Maintain (i.e., to initiate, respond, and contribute to) simple face-to-face conversations with

    some spontaneity.

    4. Hypothesize about the future (e.g., I will be there.) and express contingent events (e.g., When

    she finishes the exam, we can leave.).

    5. Express situations of volition and doubt with some elaboration (e.g., My sister wants me to

    move to Tucson., I doubt that you can cook tamales., Leave!).

    6. Emotionally react to facts with some elaboration (e.g., It's sad that your brother is sick.).

    7. Employ the writing process (e.g., organizing thought, composing, revising, proofreading) in

    Spanish.

    8. Describe cultural norms, values, beliefs, and regional variations of areas where Spanish is

    spoken/used.

    Expectations

    Foreign language classes are focused on helping each student gain fluency in the target language.

    New theories in language acquisition emphasize communicative interactions in the target

    language between peers and the instructor in order to obtain this fluency with greatest efficacy.

    I therefore expect each student to be using Spanish as frequently as possible in class,

    eventually obtaining the goal ofonly using Spanish in class.

    I expect you to arrive to class on time.

    I expect all assignments to be turned in on time; late assignments without having

    communicated with me prior to the due date will not be accepted.

    I expect you to have all cell phones turned off during class time.

    I expect you to be able to download all assignments from our Blackboard shell, and I

    3

  • 8/14/2019 Silabo SPA 201 Fall 2008

    4/12

    expect you to not come to class unprepared due to technological problems.

    I expect you to check our Blackboard shell daily for new announcements and other

    communications from me.

    I have included my YC email address and office phone above for emergencies, but under

    normal circumstances I expect you to communicate with me using Blackboard email.

    (Usually the least effective way to get in touch with me is by phone). I expect you to consider your participation grade carefully and the factors that contribute

    to it. (See Participation Evaluation below.)

    Conversation Partners

    People learn languages best when they receive linguistic input from a multiplicity of sources.

    Therefore, we will frequently be changing conversation partners, to give each student the

    opportunity to negotiate meanings in Spanish with different members of the class, and by so

    doing, be exposed to different sources of inputfacilitating learning.

    SIC Days

    From time to time we will have SIC days (Speak In Castillano [another word for Spanish, used

    in some countries]). This means that no English will be used in class (by the instructor or

    students). These immersion experiences are great opportunities to make marked advances in

    your language proficiency. Exceptional performance by individual students during SIC days will

    be rewarded (e.g. exemptions from homework assignments or even quizzes).

    Course Requirements:Homework: The bulk of the homework in this class will consist of the on-line workbook and lab

    manual pages. All of the workbook and lab manual on-line activities are required for each

    chapter of your Puntos en breve book, unless I notify you otherwise. These activities must be

    completed by midnight of the day they are due. The workbook and lab manual activities will

    correspond to the lectures and discussion given in class, so use these activities weekly (usually

    after a class meeting) to review and practice what we have covered as a class. In addition,

    throughout the course of the semester I may also assign additional homework assignments. Due

    dates for these assignments will vary and will be announced in class. These assignments are

    designed to help you reach your ultimate goal: being able to communicate in Spanish. You mustcomplete all assignments on time and come to class prepared to actively use the vocabulary and

    structures you are studying. You should plan on 1 1/2 to 2 hours of out of class preparation for

    every hour spent in class.

    Compositions: I will determine the topic of each essay, and this topic will not be disclosed until

    the day of the composition. All of the compositions will be written in class unless otherwise

    specified. Your three compositions in Spanish will be graded on content, vocabulary, and the

    4

  • 8/14/2019 Silabo SPA 201 Fall 2008

    5/12

    appropriate use of learned grammar. I may give you the option of rewriting your composition

    based on my comments and input. A composition rubric explaining assessment procedures and

    stipulations will be provided at a later date.

    Web page: Throughout the semester you will construct entries in Spanish within a personal web

    page that you create (no My Space or Facebook). You will write in Spanish to create theseentries based on the following guidelines (a-d):

    a) La casa perfecta: Give information about your dream home. What color would you like

    it to be? Where would you like it to be located (cul barrio?)? Who would you like to

    be your vecinos? What would you like it to look like, both inside and out? (Includepictures). What special features would you like it to have? How many floors. Give a

    detailed written description of the house in Spanish with pictures where necessary. Dont

    forget to use the Quiero que construction with the subjunctive when appropriate:

    Quiero que la casa sea grande y quiero que mi casa tenga una piscina grande, etc. Thisentry is related to chapter 12 ofPuntos de partida.

    b) El arte: Talk about art that you enjoy: la escultura, la pera, el drama, la pintura, el baile,la msica. Choose one piece of art (painting, sculpture, song, play, etc.) and one artist(painter, sculptor, singer, actor, etc.) and describe them in Spanish. Tell why you enjoy

    the specific piece of art that you chose. Tell what emotions the piece evokes in you. Also

    give some history on the artist. Where was the artist born? Why do you enjoy him/her asan artist? What made you realize that you enjoyed this artist? Give details and be

    specific. Include photos/music/videos wherever appropriate. This entry is related to

    chapter 13 ofPuntos de partida.

    c) Mis viajes y hazaas: Almost in the form of a diary, travel log or weblog, give a

    description of some of the exciting places that you have visited and the exciting thingsthat you have done. If you havent done anything exciting or visited anywhere exciting

    yet, make things up, and say that you have already done them. Includephotos/video/audio where appropriate. Remember to use the Spanish perfect forms:

    (e.g., Yo he viajado a Australia. Yo he saltado de un avin, etc.). This entry is related tochapter 14 ofPuntos de partida.

    d) Mi vida futura: How do you imagine your future? What job will you have? Where will

    you be living? What will your familial status be? Will you be married, have children,pets, etc.? How will you get to work? What will have changed in the world? Who will

    be your friends? Give a description of what you will do on a typical day, or in other

    words, give a description of what your daily routine will be like. Give a detaileddescription of your life in general as you imagine it in the future. Remember to use the

    Spanish future tense (e.g. Mi familia y yo viviremos cerca de George Clooney etc.).

    This entry is related to chapter 16 ofPuntos de partida.

    You should work on this web page and these entries throughout the semester. Entries in rough

    draft form will be collected at the end of each chapter throughout the semester (see course plan).These entries should be typed and double spaced but need not include the photos and other realia

    that the final draft will contain. I will help you edit these rough draft entries in order to ensure

    that the final draft is in perfect form. However, only the final draft will be awarded points that

    count toward your grade.

    You may have designed a web page/blog before in other classes, if you do not have experience indesigning web pages, you can get a good start by using sites that offer personal website design

    and templates for free such as:

    http://www.tripod.lycos.com/

    http://www.easysite.com

    http://www.blogspot.comhttp://wordpress.com/signup/

    If you have any difficulty with the technological aspect of this assignment, please contact meduring office hours or via email and I will be happy to help you set up your webpage.

    Participation: As this is a class focused on helping you learn to speak Spanish effectively, asignificant portion of your grade will be based around your participation in class activities

    focused on obtaining this goal. As stated in the attendance policy your grade will suffer a great

    deal if you choose not to participate by frequently missing class. However, when you are in class

    you should always keep your participation grade in mind and actively use Spanish to participatein small group and whole class activities as well as arrive on-time for class and be prepared for

    class by reading the required material and bringing the necessary course tools to be successful onany given day. These may include but are not limited to: your book, note taking materials, andany assignments that may be due. For more details see Participation Evalutation below.

    Quizzes: You will be required to take three quizzes in class throughout the semester. Study and

    memorize the vocabulary list located on the last few pages of each chapter. Key grammar

    points may also appear. Your instructor will detail the specific format and content for each quiz.

    For quiz dates see the course plan.

    Exams:

    a) In class exams: There will be two regular in class tests this semester, all of which willinclude listening comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, and

    composition. Remember all exams are cumulative. Information you learn through spaced

    repetition stays with you longer than information you cram. Daily study periods of shorter

    duration are more productive than marathon study sessions just before an exam.

    b) Final exam: The final exam in this course will be comprehensive, testing you on all of the

    chapters studied this semester. Details in terms of content will be provided at the appropriate

    time.

    c) Comprehensive listening exam: Because the development of your ability to understand

    spoken Spanish is one of our primary goals and because it is essential for success in subsequentcourses, you will complete an exam that assesses your ability to understand the main ideas and

    supporting details in spoken discourse. This exam will be given near the end of the semester. In

    this sense, the exam will be comprehensive, requiring you to remain acquainted with the

    vocabulary and structures studied throughout the semester.

    d) Oral assessment: A major assessment of your speaking abilities will be conducted at the end

    of the semester, providing you with an opportunity to demonstrate your abilities to communicate

    about every-day topics and situations in Spanish. This assessment may be conducted as an

    interview between you and the instructor, as role-plays performed between you and a classmate,

    or as a short presentation about the topics covered during the semester or cultural aspects of

    Spanish-speaking countries.

    The Final Grade:

    Participation (5%), homework (5%): 10%

    Compositions: 10%

    Quizzes: 10%

    Web page: 7%

    Exams: 25%

    Final exam: 20%

    Listening exam: 8%

    Oral assessment: 10%

    Your grade for this course will be based on the following: 90-100 = A; 80-89 = B; 70-79 = C; 60-

    69 = D; below 60 = F

    Attendance

    (1)You may miss four class meetings without penalty (you will receive no penalty other than the

    fact that you may miss class-work which counts toward your final grade [class-work cannot be

    made up]. Absences may also cause you to miss important information regarding upcoming

    assignments/due dates, etc. I am not responsible to inform you of any items that you missed due

    to absence; you must take the initiative and contact me or one of your classmates). (2)After five

    absences your grade will be lowered one letter; ten absences will lower your grade two letters and

    so on. (3)In addition, being absent from class does not dismiss you from any assigned due dates.

    For example, if an assignment is due on Tuesday and you feel sick Tuesday morning causing you

    to miss class, I still expect your assignment to be dropped off in my office (bldg. 3 rm. 231) by

    you or a messenger sent by you any time on Tuesday (I accept assignments all day on the day that

    they are due). (4)Regardless of circumstance, I expect you to email me prior to class if you are

    planning to be absent on a given day. Just as stiff penalties are provided for absences, extra credit

    will be awarded for perfect attendance in the form of three percentage points added to your

    overall grade at the end of the semester.

    Withdrawal procedures

    The deadline to withdraw from semester length classes at YC is November 1st for the fall

    semester and April 1st for the Spring semester. For a more detailed description of these

    procedures and to view a withdrawal calendar please see number eight in the Important Links

    section above, or clickhere.

    Academic integrity

    Dictionaries, verb conjugators, and other supplemental study materials, including on-line

    materials, can be invaluable resources and often I will provide you with links to these. However,turning in work completed by an on-line translator is laughingly easy to spot and will not be

    tolerated. If I discover that you have cheated in this manner you will automatically be given a

    failing grade for the semester. Cheating is unfair to your classmates, your instructor and to

    yourself. Cheating is also prohibited by the College and such behavior is grounds for dismissal

    from Yavapai College as provided by the student code of conduct.

    Student code of conduct

    Yavapai College is committed to providing a safe and effective learning and working

    environment for its students and employees. Students are expected to treat fellow students andinstructors with respect and to act with integrity during all collegiate interactions. Please read

    the student code of conduct for a more detailed description of expected behavior while

    attending classes here at the College.

    Disability support services

    Yavapai College strives to accommodate students who can provide proof of a documented

    disability. If you feel that these supplemental services may apply to you, it is your responsibility

    to meet with a representative from the YC Disability Resources/ADA Office and then to inform

    your instructor in writing of the accommodations to which you are entitled. Please see the YCADA homepage or call, 928-776-2079 to arrange a meeting with an ADA Coordinator.

    Problems

    Students having specific problems should see their instructor during office hours or ask for an

    appointment. If you have a more pressing concern, you may talk with the Liberal Arts Division

    Dean, Mark Shelley ([email protected]). Keep in mind that Spanish tutoring is available

    through the Learning Center.
