¡Bienvenidos! Welcome to Spanish 1110! Your studies of Spanish allow you to learn about a new

culture, and will enhance your studies in other academic fields and your future job prospects.

COURSE DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES

The first year Spanish program is designed to develop some basic Spanish proficiency as well as to

appreciate and understand the cultures of Spanish speaking countries. This course is based on the

integration of learning outcomes across Interpersonal, Interpretive, and Presentational Modes of

Communication. You will accomplish real-world communicative tasks in culturally appropriate ways as

you gain familiarity with products, practices, and perspectives of the Spanish culture(s). You will learn

grammar, vocabulary, and structures to enable you to meet functional performance goals at the

generally perform in the Novice range, although a few abilities may emerge in the Intermediate range.

By the end of this semester, you should also be able to understand and communicate on the following

topics: you and the other students in the classroom setting, family and favorite activities, plans and

preferences, activities, daily life and holidays, classes, health and interesting information about Hispanic

culture. Based on the Ohio State Learning Outcomes of first-semester Spanish course, you can

INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES

The primary focus of this class is to develop your ability to understand spoken and written Spanish and

to increase your skill in expressing yourself in simple situations. You can expect to be able to

communicate with speakers of Spanish even though you make mistakes. This class will use reading and

writing activities to enhance your grasp of vocabulary and to provide you with opportunities to express

yourself in Spanish. Class time will be devoted almost exclusively to activities that allow you to practice

your skills of understanding and interacting in Spanish. Class time will not be spent doing only grammar

drills, translating, or listening to lengthy explanations of grammar.

REQUIRED TEXTBOOK AND MATERIALS

(1) Conectados, 1st ed, 2016, by Marinelli and Fajardo, Cengage Learning. (ISBN-

13: 9781111350840)

(2) iLrn for Conectados (including online workbook &textbook), URL: http://ilrn.heinle.com/

To purchase online access, visit: http://hlc.quia.com/books/bookstore.html

(3) Headphones for audio activities online. Be sure to bring the headphones to the Foreign

Language Learning Center every time you plan to work on the iLrn.

Note: If you have learned Spanish before, you need to take the Spanish placement test at the Testing

Center (FH1080). Thus, you can be placed in a course which is more appropriate for your level of

proficiency in the four-series Elementary and Intermediate Spanish Program.

CLASSROOM PROCEDURES

Missed Class Policy

Attendance is mandatory. You cannot learn Spanish unless you are in class. For most of you, the class

hour is your only contact with Spanish. If you do not need to attend this class to learn Spanish and to

pass the exams, you belong in a more advanced Spanish class. Particularly, in this eight-week

accelerated session, you cannot afford to miss even one class meeting.

Students are expected to attend every class meeting at UT. Only in specific, unavoidable situations does

the University excuse absences from class: 1) personal emergencies, including, but not limited to, illness

of the student or of a dependent of the student [as defined by the Board of Trustees’ Policy on Family

and Medical Leave], or death of a member of the immediate family; 2) religious observances that

prevent the student from attending class; 3) participation in University-sponsored activities, approved by

the appropriate University authority, such as intercollegiate athletic competitions, activities approved by

academic units, including artistic performances, R.O.T.C. functions, academic field trips, and special

events connected with coursework; 4) government-required activities, such as military assignments, jury

duty, or court appearances; and 5) any other absence that the professor approves.

We recognize that things can happen that prevent you from attending class. Consequently, each student

is allowed one unexcused absences; any more than one is considered excessive. The absence is not a

SPAN 1110 Fall 2017

MTWR – 8wks 4

“free” day, but should be viewed as a personal day and as such is to cover illness, wedding, job

interview, etc. Absences will not be excused for work conflicts. If you have a job which conflicts with

your schedule, either change your work hours or change your class hours.

Consistently late arrivals or early departures will affect your participation grade. Arriving late is

impolite and disruptive. Please make every effort to arrive on time. If you have a conflict that causes

you to be constantly late to class or to have to leave early, you should resolve that conflict or you may

be counted absent at your instructor's discretion.

For each unexcused absence after the first one, two percentage points will be deducted from your

final average. This means that your instructor will add up all exams, tests, participation, and journal

grades, average them, and THEN s/he will deduct for absences. For example, if you end up missing a

total of 3 unexcused classes, you will lose 4 percentage points, dropping your final grade, from B+

(87.3%) to B (83.3%). On the other hand, if you have never missed any class during the semester, extra

three percentage points will be added to your final grade, which may boost your grade, for example,

from B+ (87.3%) to A- (90.3%).

You bear the responsibility of notifying your instructor in writing of any absences you anticipate.

Absences while on university business are not counted as absences as long as the official list of days not

present in class is given to the instructor in advance. (Students are responsible for making up work but

do not lose participation points while on university business.) It is strongly recommended that you use

two of the three methods: email, writing, or voicemail, to ensure that the instructor is properly notified

of the planned absence. In the event that the instructor does not receive your notification, you should be

prepared to present an alternative excuse. It will be at the instructor’s discretion to approve or

disapprove of the alternative excuse. In the event of an unavoidable short notice for a University-

approved activity where you are eligible for an excused absence, you will notify instructors in writing as

soon as possible upon learning of the activity. In the case of your illness or a death in the family, you

shall provide a written explanation for your absence immediately upon returning to class. It is the

student's responsibility to get absences excused if necessary. Documentation must be an official letter

or note from a doctor with a contact phone number, letter on letterhead from place of employment, death

notice/obituary, program from funeral, and so on.

Late work and make-ups

No late work or make-up work will be considered without written documentation for your absence.

Note that no make-ups for exams will be given, unless you present formal, written documentation

accepted by your instructor which is due immediately upon your return to class. You must be ready to

take the exam no later than the day after your return. Any missed assignment must be turned in the

following class period, along with the above-mentioned documentation. You are ultimately responsible

for material covered in class, regardless of whether you are absent or present. Authorized absences do

not relieve you of course responsibilities; you are still expected to have completed all the preparation

for the class and the class that follows it.

Class Participation

SPAN 1110 Fall 2017

MTWR – 8wks 5

Daily class participation is a vital part of developing your listening and speaking proficiency in Spanish.

For most of you, the class hour is your only contact with Spanish. You must prepare your homework

prior to the class period, and while in class, you must actively contribute to the activities being

practiced.

Your instructor will give you your participation grade every two weeks. If you do not agree with the

participation grade, you should speak to your instructor immediately. SEEK HELP AS THE NEED

ARISES. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE! Disputes over participation grades should not wait until the

end of the semester since they are much more difficult to document and handle then. Note that the daily

participation grade for any unexcused absence is zero.

The following is the criteria of the participation grade. You should use this information during any

discussion with your instructor regarding your performance. Your instructor may use a different format

(for example, student self-evaluation) or give participation grades at different intervals, and she/he will

announce that in the beginning of the semester.

SUPERIOR

attended class and arrived on time

attempted to use Spanish expressions to greet people, say goodbye

actively listened in class

spoke only Spanish to other students and instructor

participated in all activities with enthusiasm and a positive attitude

Classroom etiquette

Please remember to turn OFF all electronic devices in the classroom. This means no pagers, no

iPods, no cellphones or any other electronic devices may be used during class or during exams. You will

not be allowed to twitter, send emails or IMS during class time. You may not leave the room once an

exam has begun. Finally, punctuality is expected. Chronic tardiness will be counted as absences and will

affect your grade accordingly.

Homework assignments

The major part of homework assignments is web-based activities from the iLrn website

http://hlc.quia.com/books . The iLrn is an online version of the textbook (Communication Manual &

Reference Materials) and Student Activity Manual (Course Materials & Self-Test), including audio,

video, and written exercises. To do the assignments, go to “Assignment Calendar” for daily preparation

before class and practices after class. Your instructor will typically assign “Learn it” and/or “Practice it”

sections before each class meeting and some “Practice it”, “Use it,” or more sections on the topic after

class. This online learning program provides you immediate feedback so you can monitor your progress

on your own. You should do the assigned online activities every day and complete them all by the due

date that your instructor requires. To log in to your account, go to http://hlc.quia.com/books.

You may go to the Cengage’s Digital Course Support site

(https://www.cengage.com/services/product/ilrn ) for technical support. You can access the iLrn from

any computer--PC or Mac--that connects to the server with web browser. In the beginning, give yourself

plenty of time to try out the online activities if you are not familiar with the online workbook. Be

patient and seek help immediately when you encounter technical problems. The rest is easy once

you get things going. Assignments will be checked as often as the instructor requires. Do not

procrastinate. For technical problems, go to “Technical Support” at

Hours: Monday - Friday, 10 am EST to 8 pm EST 

Journals

You are expected to keep a journal. The free-writing style of journals is an excellent vehicle to improve

your fluency in written Spanish. The first journal entry will be collected on the third week of

instruction. You should write in your own words at least one journal entry per chapter. (Your instructor

might ask you to post it under Journals or Blogs on the Blackboard or to purchase an examination

booklet (full-size 10-7/8 x 8-1/4 “blue books” at the bookstore) to write your journal.) Your journal

entries should relate to the particular topic being discussed in class during that week or the topic

assigned by your instructor. You will also be required to accurately incorporate or utilize the grammar

that is being covered that week in class. Your instructor will inform you about the length of your journal

entry, which will increase gradually throughout the semester. Each journal entry will be given (10), (5),

or (0) points. You will receive 10 points 1) if your entries are of appropriate length; 2) if they address

the appropriate topics; 3) and if they demonstrate adequate use of the grammar of the week, when

applicable. You will receive 5 points if one of the above criteria is not met, and zero points if two or

more of the above criteria are not met. Your instructor will comment on the content of your journal but

will not mark each grammatical error in your writing.

Exams and tests

All departmental exams must be taken on the dates indicated on your syllabus. Chapter tests are listed in

the syllabus tentatively scheduled. The dates might be adjusted at the instructor’s discretion, depending

on your learning and progress. There will be a minimum of 5 chapter tests, typically one per chapter.

Your instructor may also give tests/quizzes at her/her discretion. The chapter test will cover any

combination of vocabulary, grammar, listening, reading and writing tasks. The two comprehensive

exams are cumulative with focus on your ability to actual language use in real-life contexts. More

importantly, the exams and tests should be considered an extension of the kinds of activities that you are

asked to prepare for and perform in daily classes. If you prepare conscientiously for class and attend

regularly, you should do well. All department exams will be returned for review in class within one

week and then kept by your instructor throughout the semester.

Speaking tests

Speaking tests will be administered at the end of the semester to assess your oral proficiency, the

primary objective of the first-year course sequence. The speaking tests near the end of semester include

two formats: (1) face-to-face, one-on-one spontaneous interview with your instructor or a fellow

classmate and (2) a formal presentation. In the spontaneous interview, you will have a conversation with

a partner on various topics covered in the course and you should be ready to give a brief exposition of

the topic and then initiate and answer questions. Just before your appointment time, you will be given a

real-life role-play situation in a topic practiced in your class activities this semester. The oral

presentation in the class will be done at the end of semester on a topic approved by your instructor. You

should not read a script during your presentation and you may use visual aids such as pictures, PPT or

others visual aids to help present your ideas to the class. Your oral performance in the speaking tests

will be video recorded as evidence of your progress in the semester.

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Expected Time Required (Approximate): A general guideline for the amount of time you

should plan to dedicate to this course is 2-3 hours of homework per hour spent in class.

Academic misconduct: Cheating is not tolerated on either exams or homework. Anyone caught

copying from others or allowing others to copy their work is subject to receiving an “F” for the

work in question or for the course. Cases of plagiarizing, cheating, collusion and other academic

misconduct will be referred to the Office of Dean of the College of Arts and Letters. For a

complete policy statement on academic dishonesty see

http://www.utoledo.edu/dl/students/dishonesty.html.

Foreign Language Learning Center (FLLC) (phone 419-530-5959, Field House #2330,

http://www.utoledo.edu/llss/forlang/lab/index.html ) There are personal computers available for

your use in the Center (also called Language Lab). You may use these computers for written

assignments or check multimedia materials. Lab activities are very important for your success

learning a second language. The more you listen and practice, the more you learn. While you

may complete the electronic workbook assignment anywhere you have the Internet connection,

you may also use the FLLC for this purpose. The Foreign Language Learning Center also has a

collection of foreign language films which you may borrow overnight or view on-site. In

addition, the FLLC has foreign television channels available on computer as well.
