Spanish 2 Syllabus
Señora Rogers
¡Bienveniedos a la clase de Español!
Welcome to Spanish class!
In this course we will be developing the foundations of the Spanish language. We will become familiar with the
Spanish alphabet, the sounds of the letters, simple sentence structure, and how verbs are conjugated. We will
study proper pronunciation. We will study the vocabulary that will allow you to have simple conversations: to
describe yourself, to describe your home and your town, to ask for and follow directions, to place an order in a
restaurant, and other conversations.
We will also be learning about Spanish speaking cultures. We will study about the basic geography, customs,
traditions, holidays, traditional foods and clothing, and other interesting facts about the various Spanish
speaking countries.
Tips on Learning a Language
Language consists for 4 aspects: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. You will have specific
assignments that will help you to develop each of these skills. When learning a new language, you will
get out what you put in. The more you speak in the new language, the faster you will acquire the new
language.
Participation
It is expected that each student with participate in class. Participation includes being alert and paying attention
during the class, responding to questions asked by the teacher or other presenters, involvement in group
activities, and being prepared for class discussions. This also includes having the necessary equipment for
participation, including a headset and microphone.
Grading
Grades will be assigned in five areas, with each area earning the following percentages of the grade:
