Spanish I
Course Units: 1.0
In Spanish I some students start with no knowledge of the language and others have learned some Spanish before. That difference in knowledge becomes less noticeable as the weeks go by. The students are encouraged from the beginning to use the language in class as much as possible. Grammar and vocabulary are practiced through a variety of activities that include play acting, presentations, videos, songs, tongue twisters and personal experiences. This class also introduces the students to the varied Spanish speaking world and acquaints them with different accents, customs, foods, music, etc. During the first semester the students watch a feature film and during the second semester a 14-episode series. Students are encouraged to listen to Spanish outside the class on the radio and watch Spanish programs. The philosophy behind this class is that the more exposed the brain is to Spanish, the faster one learns the language.
