This class is a continuation of practice and further development of essential listening, reading, speaking, and writing skills. Admission is either by placement or successful completion of 110.

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 Spanish. 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 skills in four areas:

A. SPEAKING: You will be able to "survive" in Spanish speaking situations by asking questions to get basic 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 the university and your studies, to talk about your likes and dislikes, interests, and daily activities as well as your past and what you plan to do in the future, and other similar topics appropriate to a basic conversational level.

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 basic texts written for Spanish-speaking people, such as simple 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 basic 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 Basic Proficiency in Spanish by fulfilling the requirements listed below. The student should consult the section on Grading System in the current bulletin of USCB. The professor will use the following numerical and letter equivalence:

A 90-100 Class Participation: 10%

B+ 86-89 Homework (Workbook &Lab): 10%

B 80-85 Quizzes (Pruebas): 20%

C+ 76-79 Project: 10%

C 70-75 Exams: 30%

D+ 66-69 Final Exam: 20%

D 60-65 100%

F below 60

ATTENDANCE POLICY: Attendance is required. Attendance is required. Attendance is required. No in-class work will be made up. Class participation grade is contingent on a regular attendance. Please read the statement on class attendance in the current USCB bulletin. You will penalize yourself if you miss classes. Note that there are 30 class meeting hours including the first day. If you miss three, excused or unexcused, you will be penalized by a redaction of one letter grade on your final grade.

Language study is progressive. If you miss quizzes or exams, you may not make them up, whether the absence is excused or not. The next quiz or exam will simply count twice. All exams and quizzes (pruebas) are marked on the syllabus.

FINAL EXAM: The final exam will be comprehensive, covering the Chapters and readings done in class.

NOTE: Students with disabilities that need to be addressed should speak to me in the first week of classes so that I become aware of any special needs. If you have any questions, please contact me at 521-4152 (B), 785-3995 (HH).
