It is aimed at engaging students in the communicative use of the four language skills (reading, writing, speaking, and listening) to a B2 level according to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) while becoming familiar with historical and cultural aspects of Latin America and Spain. Specifically the course seeks that the students understand and utilize functional content, lexical, gramatical, and socio-cultural knowledge frequently used anywhere in the Spanish-speaking world (current situations and normal daily life which does not require specialized use of language).

NO General Standards HOURS OF INDEPENDENT LEARNING: As part of their education, students are to spend at least four hours a week to strengthen the skills and knowledge they have acquired during class hours. To do so, students will enter the virtual classroom of the University with the username and password they have received during the first week of class. All activities are developed independently and will be evaluated and included in the category of Permanent Evaluation. Some work will also be evaluated in the midterm or final testing. ATTENDANCE: The student can be absent for the total of 20% of the total number of classes in the course. If the student exceeds this rate, he or she will not be able to take the final exam because they will not meet the attendance requirement of the University. Español Intermedio Página 5 de 6 F-205

6 It is important to note that the first hour has a maximam tarde tolerance of ten minutes, after which the student will be considered absent. If the course has two continuous hours, there is no tolerance for the second hour. Attendence is counted until the last day of class (June 30, 2012) It is essential that students check their absences through INFOSIL in order to avoid last minute suprises. If there is any mistake in attendance, the professor has 72 hours (3 days) to rectify the matter. After this time, you can not make any changes to the attendance control. MAKE-UP TESTING: There is make-up testing within a week after the end of class for those students who have a justifiable reason for not being able to take one of the four tests. To take advantage of the late testing, follow the proper procedure within 48 hours of the missed test. There is no late testing for the Oral Final. MATERIALS: The student should bring to class what is mandatory for the development of their education. The student should bring their textbook and workbook to class everyday (photocopies are not accepted). Attending class without materials (including textbook and workbook) will lead to a reduced score in the evaluation of their Class Attitude. In summary, it is important to be clear about the following points: a. Hay una tolerancia de 10 minutos para ser considerado presente al inicio de la primera hora. b. No hay tolerancia al inicio de la segunda hora. c. El límite de inasistencias es 20%. De exceder dicho porcentaje de inasistencias, el alumno NO podrá rendir el EXAMEN FINAL. d. El alumno debe llevar a todas las clases su libro y cuaderno de ejercicios original. La asistencia sin los materiales correspondientes restará puntaje en la nota de actitud en clase (evaluación permanente).
