Untitled document
By the end of the course, a Spanish 2S student will demonstrate by means
of a comprehensive exam the ability to read & write in Spanish.
READING STANDARD: Student will be able to read paragraphs from a variety
of disciplines with some ease and understand and judge selections from
topics of general interest, with only occasional reference to a
dictionary.
WRITING STANDARD: Student will be able to apply standard grammar
principles, active Spanish vocabulary, and over-all critical thinking
skills of the language to produce short compositions & descriptive
paragraphs consisting of biographical sketches, job interviews, and the
like.
COURSE CONTENT: At a minimum, content will give particular attention to
increasing vocabulary and expression in order to provide material for
communication.  Written assignments will provide opportunities for a
student to understand, apply, analyze, synthesize, and evaluate cultural
themes that can be discussed in class: history, culture traditions and
literature. Of major concern will be the presentation of the
basic grammatical aspects of the language and the enhancement of student's
linguistic and cultural awareness. SPECIFIC GRAMMATICAL POINTS TO BE
COVERED THOROUGHLY IN SPANISH 2S: Be able to identify, contrast and use
the following: standard pronunciation, standard spelling & accentuation,
nouns & pronouns, articles & adjectives, prepositions, regular & high
frequency irregular verbs, commands, present & past subjunctive verb
forms, indicative verb forms, varied uses of infinitives, and
diminutives.
