oral 30% y escrito 70%
This class is a continuation of practice and
further development of essential listening, reading, speaking, and writing
skills. Additionally, this class will develop an understanding for commercial
organizations and business in Spanish-speaking countries, business
correspondence, terminology, and techniques in commercial transactions.
Admission is either by placement or successful completion of 310.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
In basic beginning language classes, students often spend
about an hour preparing for each class. In this intermediate level class, this
means two hours of preparation per class day will be necessary, particularly if
your background is not strong. If you have heavy work or family
responsibilities, you are warned that taking a skills‑building class like
this one is going to be very demanding.
GOALS:
This course is a proficiency-based course, designed to
teach you to communicate in Business Spanish situations. A proficiency‑based
course emphasizes what you can DO in a language, rather than what you know more
or less passively. You will improve your comprehension of business in Spanish
and your skills in four areas:
A. SPEAKING: You will be able to "survive" in
Spanish speaking business situations by asking questions to get detailed
information and by being able to make your needs and desires known. You will be
able to talk about yourself and other people around you, to talk about business
in Spanish and the cultural differences when doing business with Hispanic
countries.
B. LISTENING COMPREHENSION: You will be able to follow
conversations dealing with everyday topics, such as those covered in
"Speaking," above. You will often be able to make guesses about what
is being said, even though you didn't know all the words.
C. READING: You will be able to read commercial texts
written for Spanish‑speaking people, such as magazine and newspaper articles. You will be able to get the gist
of such articles as well as many of the details. When you don't know all the
words, you will often be able to make correct guesses in order to understand a
large part of what you read.
D. WRITING: In situations such as those in
"Speaking," above, you will be able to express yourself in generally
correct written Spanish, showing an understanding of the basic structures and
spelling of the language.
GRADING AND VERIFICATION
Students will demonstrate competency in Business Spanish
316 by fulfilling the requirements listed below. The student should consult the
section on Grading System in the current bulletin of USC‑B. The professor
will use the following numerical and letter equivalence:
A 90‑100 Pruebas 20%
B+ 86‑89 Preguntas Orales 20%
B 80‑85 Class Presentations 20%
C+ 76‑79 Class Participation 10%
C 70‑75 Homework 10%
D+ 66‑69 Final Exam: 20%
