Course Description |
Spanish
105, the first semester of Elementary Review Spanish, is designed
for students who have had some previous exposure to the language.
This course offers the student practice in pronunciation, comprehension,
speaking, writing and reading Spanish. After a few weeks of reviewing
the most basic Spanish grammar, the course then continues to present
fundamental grammar and vocabulary systematically, roughly at the
rate of one chapter every three classes. Video driven, the course
uses the Destinos program of integrated videos, audio tapes,
text and workbook exercises.
This is a four credit course, with four class meetings per week. |
Course Goals |
| 1. |
To help the student develop
mastery of fundamental grammar concepts and basic vocabulary in
a way that encourages each student to strive for good pronunciation,
and permits each student to communicate in simple Spanish in the
present, past and future tenses, on topics that include school life,
health, family, food and personality.
|
| 2. |
To help the student develop
or heighten an appreciation and respect for the people, history,
and cultural diversity of the Hispanic world, through brief, simple
cultural readings in Spanish and some songs from the Hispanic world.
|
| 3. |
To acquaint the student
with, or to deepen her or his knowledge of, the geography of the
Hispanic world and the different regions where Spanish is spoken. |
