I. Course Description and Objectives
Introduction to Spanish II will continue with the introduction of students to the basics of Spanish language and
culture, emphasizing the five fundamental components of language acquisition: reading, writing, listening,
speaking, and cultural competence. Particular emphasis will be placed on active participation by all students with
the aim of consistently practicing vocabulary and functions studied. By the end of the semester, students will
have developed:
- Knowledge of basic Spanish grammatical structures and vocabulary (Chapter 1- 4)
- Familiarity with some aspects of the Spanish culture: everyday interactions, health, home and work
environments, travel and cultural aspects of food.
- Cognitive strategies related to learning a foreign language.
II. Course Components
Participation and Preparedness: In order to best learn a language, it is necessary for the student to practice and
review the language on a daily basis and to make his or her best effort to learn all vocabulary and understand all
grammatical concepts before each and every class. Class sessions will provide a forum for students to apply the
knowledge gained from studying the text and completing its corresponding activities. Students must participate
actively in class at all times, even when others are speaking. That is, they must remain attentive to what is being
discussed and participate actively as both listener and speaker.
Attendance Policy: Given the necessity of daily preparation, attendance is mandatory in this course.
●
A maximum of one unexcused absence (3 hours) is permitted before a penalty is issued. Excessive
absences may result in failure.
●
Each absence after the first unexcused absence will lower the final grade by one third of a letter
grade (e.g. B+ > B).
●
Lateness to class also falls under this policy.
●
Excessive absences may result in failure.

composition, any other help—from Spanish speaking friends, tutors, online translators, etc.—is not allowed
