Course Title: Spanish II 1. required text ¡ Tú dirás! ,John Gutiérrez, Harry L. Russer, Ana Martínez-Lage; Heinle & Heinle. 3d edition. - Student Textbook; - Textbook Compact Disk (packaged with the Student Textbook); INTERNET EXERCISEShttp:/www2.marianopolis.edu/faculty/languages.htm recommended texts : De boca en boca 1 , M.Asencio, L.Duguay; Beauchemin. A bilingual pocket dictionary such as: The Collins Spanish Dictionary or Dictionnaire espagnol-français Robert-Collins. 2. general objectives ( as specified by the Ministry of Education) At the end of this course students will have expanded their ability to use relatively simple structures and idioms, orally and in writing, to deal with familiar situations, within the cultural context of the Spanish-speaking world. The student will show 1. a grasp of the sense of both oral and written messages by: a) properly identifying words and idiomatic expressions; b) demonstrating the ability to understand the general meaning of relatively simple messages; c) making logical connections between elements of a message;
2. the ability to orally express a relatively simple message through: a) the appropriate use of simple linguistic structures in independent clauses; b) the appropriate application of basic grammar rules; c) the use of verbs in the present and past indicative tenses; d) the appropriate use of basic vocabulary and idiomatic expressions; e) intelligible pronunciation; f) coherent linking of sentences in dialogue;
3. the ability to write a text through: a) the appropriate use of simple linguistic structures in independent clauses; b) the appropriate application of basic grammar rules; c) the use of verbs in the present and past indicative tenses; d) the appropriate use of basic vocabulary and idiomatic expressions; e) coherent linking of a series of relatively simple sentences. The above objectives represent the minimum standard set by the Quebec government and may account for as little as 60% of the total course content. A. Through periodic evaluation, the student will demonstrate the ability to: 1) understand relatively simple oral and written statements and questions in Spanish dealing with everyday situations by: a) properly identifying words and idiomatic expressions; b) demonstrating the ability to understand the general meaning of relatively simple messages; c) making logical connections between elements of a message; 2) use basic vocabulary and grammar needed for relatively simple exchanges; 3) describe persons, things, events and situations in the present and past tenses; 4) engage in dialogues dealing with a number of real life situations; 5) write a composition using the present and past tenses; 6) show knowledge of some cultural aspects of the Spanish speaking world.
B. Through a short oral presentation on a freely chosen topic, the student will demonstrate the ability to use Spanish for creative expression. 3. specific objectives This course promotes consistent interaction among students. We expect them to use and understand oral and written Spanish in a gradually increasing number of real-life situations and to acquire additional knowledge in areas of interest to them as they will progress. In this course students should be able to carry out the following tasks: - talk about various means of transportation; - talk about future plans; - use the metro; - read a short text about making plans; - understand conversations about making plans; - talk about various aspects of the Spanish-speaking world; - give the date and the seasons of the year; - talk about events in the past; - indicate how long an activity has been going on; - make purchases at different locations; - indicate quantities; - ask for prices; - make comparisons; - point out places, objects, people; - give orders and express influence; - talk about shopping experiences; - talk about their own and other people’s health and physical fitness; - etc. 4. methodology Oral work in pairs or in groups Conversations Dialogues (prepared and spontaneous) Transparencies Videos Reading activities Personalized writing activities Listening comprehension activities Grammar and vocabulary personalized and activities in context Audio and computer exercises from Tú dirás and De boca en boca 1 Internet 5. evaluation
6. general policy Please note: In this course attendance is obligatory. “Class participation is assessed with respect to attendance, punctuality, contribution to discussions, and general conduct and deportment during class activities. Disruptive behaviour, absenteeism and lack of punctuality will be deemed negative participation.” (From the Marianopolis Evaluation Policy, page 14) Negative participation will result in the loss of participation points. Any absence will result in the loss of 1 point each. Two retards will be equivalent to one absence. Moreover, leaving class during or before the end of the class period will also be penalized. It is obligatory to bring your textbook to class otherwise you will loss a point every time you neglect to bring your textbook. A ppointments with doctors, dentists, professors, etc. should not be made as to infringe on class time. Students who miss a class are expected to inform themselves about the material covered and the work assigned during their absence. Disruptive behaviour will be penalized according to the nature of the offence and the judgment of the professor. There will be no “make-up” tests. A student who misses a quiz or exam for valid reason may request special consideration. Medical and dental appointments are NOT considered valid reasons. Please note that it is important to keep this outline for future reference. De boca en boca 1 : These programs will be done weekly. The student will cover one or two programs at a time. Each program should be studied for at least fifteen minutes; it relies on oral repetition, which should be practice at least twice. The given dates should be respected for the study of the assigned programs or else points will be loss. It is the student responsibility to complete each program .
Oral book report . The oral book report will be done in Spanish. The student should read one of the recommended books carefully, at least twice. The oral report will consist of a brief account of the story—at least three minutes long, no more than five. The report should also include a detailed description of each of the main characters. The student may use note-cards as reminders; reading directly from them will result in a 50% loss of the mark . The first report will be done in the present tense only, not use of past tenses is required; but as for the second one the use of the past tense is mandatory. Grading will be based in the following aspects:
