The curriculum of basic language courses in Hunter College Romance Department aims to respond to the goals established by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages and to the Standards for Foreign Language Learning as they pertain to communication and culture. “You will be reminded many times during the course that frequent ---preferably daily---practice is essential to your linguistic development.” Acquisition of vocabulary, idiomatic expressions, and grammatical forms comes from repeated use more than from note memorization. Apart from class attendance, our rule of thumb is an additional 3-4 hours of outside work: one hour of “homework” (whether formally assigned or not) per class hour, plus up to two hours of “lab work” per week. Syllabus and Course Content Spanish 203 is for students who can communicate comfortably in sentence-length discourse and who can link sentences to sustain a topic with some ease. In this course you will learn to express yourself in paragraph-like discourse through sentence clusters. In addition you will learn to read lengthy texts of some complexity and to begin writing both creative and expository texts as you continue to learn about salient aspects of Hispanic cultures. Authentic readings solidify communication skills by providing themes for class discussions and written assignments, and as a context for the practice of grammar structures. The present, future and past tenses are reviewed and more complex grammar structures are introduced. Language laboratory work is required (see below for details). Learning goals: By the end of this course, students should: (1) be able to sustain everyday topics spontaneously over several sentences, both orally and in writing (2) give evidence of partial ability to shape cohesive descriptions and narrations through conjunctions and other expressive devices (3) be able to comprehend with some ease lengthy connected texts, both written and auditory, such as narrations, descriptions, explanations, comparisons, etc. (4) demonstrate essentially full control of vocabulary related to everyday experiences and of basic structures, such as the Present and Future Tenses. (5) show conceptual and partial control of complex structures, such as the Passive Voice, the Subjunctive, Past Tenses, etc. (6) be able to discuss, both orally and in writing, some characteristics of Hispanic cultures and comment on cross-cultural contrasts.

¡Se habla español! Spanish is the official language of the class As a citizen of this class you are expected to make every effort to speak Spanish at all times. Of course, we sometimes fall short of this ideal, but adhering to our goal should be the rule rather than the exception in this class. Why? Because the aim of the Foreign Language Requirement is to equip Hunter College students with the ability to truly survive in a target language environment. In order to achieve a genuine ability to communicate in Spanish by the end of Spanish 202, you need a vast amount of exposure to the language. So, do not ask your instructor to speak English or translate. The classroom provides a safe, friendly environment to practice your Spanish: why waste the opportunity? The more you interact in Spanish with your instructor and your classmates, the more you will be able to comprehend and to produce Spanish --- and the better able you will get using the language outside the classroom in real life! Personal Technology If you need a laptop, tablet, or any other device for taking notes or otherwise participating in class, that’s fine. However, please do not use a personal device for any purpose unrelated to our class. All devices should be silenced and cell phones should be put away. No text messaging during class. Required books Blanco, José A. Portales – Introductory Spanish I – Vista Higher Learning ISBN: 978-1-68004-041-8 The Portales text comes in multiple forms, but one form that would be most applicable to you are the digital-only version.

Recommended books Spinelli, Emily. English Grammar for Students of Spanish. Kendris, Christopher; Kendris, Theodore. 501 Spanish Verbs (Barron's foreign language verbs)

Attendance Policies ***Maximum 6 class hours*** The attendance policy for basic courses in the Roman Language Department is strict: only six (6) class hours --- no three class sessions --- may be missed without an added adverse impact on your grade. After your sixth absence your grade will be reduced by 2 points with each successive absence.

Punctuality is also a factor in attendance: your instructor may count you as absent if you are more than 5 minutes late. Please be in close communication with your instructor for feedback and advice on your standing in the course if circumstances require you to be absent for more than 6 hours. Remember, it takes a lot of time and practice to develop true communicative ability in a language. Our attendance policy is designed to enable you succeed and not lose the skills you have acquired. . If you are absent, it is your responsibility to make up any work you have missed. The Language Lab – The Chanin Center HW 209 The language lab, officially known as the Chanin Language Center, is located at 209 West. Language lab practice is necessary in all basic courses in Romance Languages: this Department’s policy requires:

Language Lab work supplements and complements the practice you get in the classroom and gives you the opportunity to work independently and at your own pace with a variety of resources that are infinitely patient --- unlike human beings : you can repeat as many times as you wish until you are satisfied with your pronunciation, you may replay an audio or video tape as often as you want until you have achieved the comprehension you desire, the writing software programs don’t mind if you check your grammar or your spelling countless times , etc. This unhurried practice will prepare you for and boost your self confidence in the classroom and beyond. Please be sure to use the Chanin Language Center only for foreign language-related assignments: there are plenty of other resources at Hunter for individualized study of other PLEASE BE MINDFUL NOT TO FALL BEHIND IN LAB WORK. THE CHANIN CENTER HAS THE RIGHT TO LIMIT YOUR USE OF THE FACILITY IF YOU ATTEMPT TO USE THE LAB FOR MORE HOURS THAN YOU ARE ASSIGNED EACH WEEK. a. The Chanin Center website is at: http://sapientia.hunter.cuny.edu/~chanin/ As publishers have made Workbook/Lab manuals accessible electronically, students have a choice of doing lab work remotely or in the Chanin Center. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hunter College Policies: ACADEMIC INTEGRITY & STUDENTS WITH DISSABILITIES ACT Academic integrity refers to the honesty with which students do all their academic work and live their academic lives—from their studies to doing their own work to taking their own quizzes, exams, and their lab work.
