Spanish 1

High School Grades (8-12)

The goal for learners in this Spanish 1 course is for students to build their cultural competence and their language proficiency so that they can 1) Interact with others using knowledge and understanding of native and other cultures and 2) communicate effectively in Spanish both in person and via technology.

Students begin learning basic language structures, with a focus on communicating about their immediate world and daily life activities, reading material on familiar topics, and writing short, directed compositions. The major means of communication between students and instructors will be in the target language. By the end of Level I, students will exhibit Novice-Mid level proficiency in speaking and writing and Novice-High level proficiency in listening and reading.
