COURSE CONTENT

Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
Untitled document
  SPEAKING:
 Students should be able to sustain a logical dialogue with one
 another or with a native speaker for 1 to 3 minutes or more on
 topics dealing with the most practical aspects of everyday experience.
 In addition, they should achieve a clear pronunciation, proper
 intonation, and correct grammatical perspective so they may be
 able to summarize in general terms the meaning they wish to convey.
 LISTENING:
 The student should develop this skill so he can understand, apply,
 analyze, synthesize, and evaluate what is said to him, as well as
 the assignments, and most of the materials read aloud at normal
 speed (such as newspaper articles, magazine features, letters, etc.)
 READING:
 Students should be able to read with some ease and understand and
 judge selections from topics of general interest, with only
 occasional reference to a dictionary.
 WRITING:
 The students should be encouraged to apply their active Spanish
 vocabulary and over-all critical thinking skills of the language
 to produce short compositions and descriptive paragraphs consisting
 of biographical sketches, travel accounts, job interviews, and
 the like.
 MINIMUM MATERIALS TO BE STUDIED:
 Particular attention is given to increase the acquistion of
 vocabulary in order to provide material for communication. Idiomatic
 expressions of cultural traits of Spanish speaking countries shall
 be presented and discussed in order to enhance the student's
 linguistic and cultural awareness. Of major concern is the
 presentation of the basic grammatical aspects of the language
 through the active usage and assimilation of structural patterns
 in situations as similar to normal speaking situations as possible.
 SPECIFIC GRAMMATICAL POINTS TO BE COVERED THOROUGHLY IN SPANISH 2:
 1.  direct/indirect object pronouns.
 2.  commands.
 3.  present subjunctive.
 4.  preterite of regular verbs.
 5.  preterite of high frequency irregular vervbs.
 6.  preterite of stem changing verbs.
 7.  imperfect of regular and irregular verbs.
 8.  preterite vs. imperfect.
 9.  infinitive as a verb complement.
 10. reflexive pronouns.
 11. reflexive for unplanned occurrences.
 12. reciprocal action pronouns.
 13. adjectives - superlative vs. comparative.
 14. ordinal adjectives.
 15. nominalization of adjective.
 16. nominalization; lo plus adjective.
 17. diminutives.
 18. use and omission of the definite article.
 19. prepositions; para vs. por.
