SPA 101 - Spanish for Beginners I

Institution:

The College of New Jersey

Subject:

Description:

This sequence is founded on the five C's of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) National Standards. Students will have the opportunity to practice the three modes of Communication, to learn about Hispanic Culture, and to make Comparisons between their first language and culture and the Spanish language and culture. In addition, students make Connections to other fields of study unavailable to them through their native language. Finally, students have the opportunity to engage with the Hispanic Community outside of the classroom. The goal of the basic Spanish sequence therefore is to produce students with an observable and definable degree of language proficiency. Proficiency is measured by the achievement of particular benchmarks as defined by ACTFL in the four skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing), and supported by the five C's cited above. Oral Proficiency Class is required in SPA 101, 102, and 103. Students with four or more years of high school Spanish will not receive credit for 101. Heritage speakers will NOT receive credit for 101, 102 or 103.
