Course Description: Spanish for Heritage Speakers II (SPAN 2323) - Development of oral and literacy skills with emphasis on academic discourse, and understanding of different levels of formality of Spanish, for native and heritage speakers of Spanish. Prerequisite: Permission of the department. Student Learning Outcomes: By the end of this course, students will reactivate the Spanish they have learned in the past and develop it further, will acquire literacy skills in Spanish, and will augment their academic language proficiency in Spanish, ranging from grammar and spelling and developing academic vocabulary in Spanish to learning how to critically read and analyze a text, write academic texts, or acquire new information in different academic content areas to be presented in formal settings. Students will develop meta-linguistic awareness about the differences between the standard Spanish and other varieties, thus developing the ability and confidence to use their Spanish skill in academic, professional, and personal contexts. Students will increase vocabulary through reading of authentic texts. Students will increase their knowledge of the Hispanic presence and legacy in the United States and the world, developing a greater appreciation in their language and culture of heritage. Program Learning Outcomes for Majors: 1) Students will demonstrate the ability to engage in effective oral communication with native speakers of the target language. 2) Students will analyze and summarize authentic texts in the target language. 3) Students will write effective, original compositions demonstrating the ability to analyze, persuade and/or defend an opinion in the target language. 4) Students will apply critical thinking skills in comparisons of the cultures studied and their own. 5) Students will, if seeking teacher certification, demonstrate mastery of professional skills necessary to teach the target language. 6) Students will demonstrate mastery of linguistic and cultural skills necessary to pursue graduate study and/or careers.

2 Grading: Asistencia y participación Tarea Aprendizaje en servicio en la comunidad Diario de lectura Composiciones Presentación oral Proyecto final en grupo Examen de medio semestre Examen final Total 50 puntos 2x100=200 puntos 150 puntos 1000 puntos Letter grades will be assigned according to the following scale: A B C D F Assignments Descriptions: Asistencia y participación: While attendance is mandatory, you will only receive full participation points if you are present, on time, prepared, remain for the entire class, you are engaged in your learning and actively participate in class activities while being respectful and attentive to others. CELL PHONES are NOT permitted in class; they must be turned off and put away before class begins. Texting, ing, or engaging in any other kind of distraction from class activities, such as working on homework during class time, will result in you being counted as absent for the day and therefore unable to earn participation points. You will also earn participation points for your contributions to discussions and online activities via D2L. Tarea: All of the activities corresponding to the lessons covered are assigned in the Manual de gramática y ortografía para hispanos. They are to be completed by the due date in order to receive credit for them. Notice that if you miss a deadline you may still get the practice to better prepare you for class work and exams, but you will not get the homework credit. Completion of your workbook assignments accounts for 10% of your final grade. The sections of s y cultura require out-of-class reading and online research on a cultural topic and answer specific questions. You will print your answers and bring them to class, in order to share them in small groups and engage in discussion to encourage critical thinking. Aprendizaje en servicio en comunidad: Service-learning is a form of experiential learning whereby students apply academic knowledge & critical thinking skills to address genuine community needs. Service-learning is one part academic learning & one part a meaningful community-based learning experience. Students involved in service-learning do not simply receive credit for performing community service or volunteering. Rather, students engage in a range of unique learning & service activities designed by the instructor (as a component of a class). Important student service-learning activities include the identification of academic concepts most closely linked to service experiences, the actual design of the community-based experience, the field experience, & the completion of related class assignments. Student learning outcomes are assessed through class papers/presentations & other reflection activities on the

3 service experience. Two events are scheduled to bring information to the community about pertinent recent events. Options for this component will be discussed in class. Diario de lectura y aprendizaje servicio: Each student will keep a weekly journal with vocabulary, grammar in context, and reflection from their reading and from their service learning. Students must choose a book, written in Spanish, to read throughout the semester. Composiciones: Students will write two compositions during this semester of about words. They must be typed, doubled spaced, 12 pt font, using diacritical marks (á, é, í, ó, ú, ñ,!,?), and must be submitted via Turnitin.com through a link on D2L. Compositions will reflect grammatical structures and vocabulary learned in class. Each will show the three- step process of writing: pre-writing, drafting, and editing. The workbook writing activities will be your starting points for them. The first composition will incorporate description and narration. The second composition will be a persuasive text, in which you will present an issue that affects Hispanic communities in the US, define a course of action, and defend your position. Presentación oral: To further your ability to perform in Spanish and to demonstrate the level of your linguistic proficiency, you will be required to make an individual 3 to 5 minutes oral presentation. Your instructor will provide you with additional information on the assignment. Proyecto final en grupo: In groups of 3-5 you will work on a culminating project that build on the knowledge you have gained over the course of the semester. You will need to showcase register, grammar, vocabulary, and cultural information from the semester. The instructor will provide further details. Exámenes: There will be one midterm exam and one final exam on the material covered in the course. Your grade will depend on the appropriateness of your register, grammar, and vocabulary, and your knowledge of cultural material studied.

Faculty members promote academic integrity in multiple ways including instruction on the components of academic honesty, as well as abiding by university policy on penalties for cheating and plagiarism.

4 Definition of Academic Dishonesty: Academic dishonesty includes both cheating and plagiarism. Cheating includes but is not limited to (1) using or attempting to use unauthorized materials to aid in achieving a better grade on a component of a class; (2) the falsification or invention of any information, including citations, on an assigned exercise; and/or (3) helping or attempting to help another in an act of cheating or plagiarism. Plagiarism is presenting the words or ideas of another person as if they were your own. Examples of plagiarism are (1) submitting an assignment as if it were one's own work when, in fact, it is at least partly the work of another; (2) submitting a work that has been purchased or otherwise obtained from an Internet source or another source; and (3) incorporating the words or ideas of an author into one's paper without giving the author due credit. Please read the complete policy at Withheld Grades Semester Grades Policy (A-54): Ordinarily, at the discretion of the instructor of record and with the approval of the academic chair/director, a grade of WH will be assigned only if the student cannot complete the course work because of unavoidable circumstances. Students must complete the work within one calendar year from the end of the semester in which they receive a WH, or the grade automatically becomes an F. If students register for the same course in future terms the WH will automatically become an F and will be counted as a repeated course for the purpose of computing the grade point average. Students with Disabilities: To obtain disability related accommodations, alternate formats and/or auxiliary aids, students with disabilities must contact the Office of Disability Services (ODS), Human Services Building, and Room 325, / (TDD) as early as possible in the semester. Once verified, ODS will notify the course instructor and outline the accommodation and/or auxiliary aids to be provided. Failure to request services in a timely manner may delay your accommodations.
