Course Description
Spanish 1A is a 4‐unit course designed for students who have never studied Spanish before. It is devoted to the acquisition of basic communicative structures, everyday vocabulary, correct pronunciation and correspondence between sounds and spelling. The main objective of the course is to bring the student to communicate as soon as possible solely in Spanish. Grammatical rules and verb conjugations will be introduced and practiced in class through interactive exercises. Instruction will be conducted almost exclusively in Spanish. Students are expected to participate in all class activities and also to work on their own to develop reading and writing skills. Evaluation of the student will reflect his/her progress in the four skills: speaking, oral comprehension, reading and writing. Since priority is given during class to the development of students’ speaking and oral comprehension skills, class attendance is an essential component for succeeding and earning a good grade in the class.

Course Goals and Learning Outcomes
GE Learning Outcomes (GELO)
Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to: GELO 1. Recognize how significant works illuminate enduring human concerns; GELO 2. Respond to such works by writing both research‐based critical analyses and personal
responses; GELO 3. Write clearly and effectively.
General Education Research and Writing Requirement Assessment:
There is significant writing produced through in‐class and homework compositions and general writing assignments. By the end of the semester, students write at least 750 words as in‐class and at‐home writing exercises and on the chapter and final exams in the form of essay questions on various cultural and literary topics. Students are also required to create two written and performed dialogues of 100 words each (2 drafts) and a final 200 word essay on a cultural topic totaling a minimum of 1,500 words (C2 LO 1, 2 & 3). They are guided in the writing process, learning to formulate a thesis statement, producing an outline, a draft and a final version as well as engaging in peer and self‐editing. The final composition exercise consists of answering essay questions on topics studied and discussed during the semester.
Writing assignments are assessed in terms of language, i.e. grammar, spelling, style, and content and structure, as well as comprehensiveness in the use of research techniques and materials. Students are guided through the revision process and the final product is assessed based on progress. Appropriate formative feedback is provided throughout the writing process both through peer editing and from the instructor. The students are expected to demonstrate ability to find resources either online or in the library, and they are also expected to view the films that will be discussed in class.
