1 BOSTON COLLEGE Intermediate Spanish RL115 Instructor: Office: _ Class Meeting Time: Fall 2014, 3 credits Office Hours: Office Phone & CATALOG DESCRIPTION This course builds on previously acquired language skills and helps prepare students to interact with native speakers of Spanish. Emphasis is on vocabulary expansion, accuracy of expression, and interactive language use. Short literary and cultural readings will provide authentic insight into the Hispanic world. Students will work with video, films, and other multimedia. Prerequisite: Elementary Spanish or equivalent. COURSE OBJECTIVES This course focuses on enhancing your ability to communicate in Spanish by helping you to master several important language functions, or actions/ideas that you can express with the language. These functions will enable you to create, participate in conversations, ask and answer questions and manage everyday topics and social situations. This semester's functions include: describing and comparing people; narrating in the present and past; reacting to events and situations, making recommendations and expressing opinions. Although we touch lightly on these topics this semester, next semester you will learn to express likes and dislikes, hypothesize and talk about the future. We will review the major grammar points needed to express these functions. Most of the grammar, however, will be familiar to you so that you will be able to express yourself communicatively.

Oral Comprehension / Speaking / Culture: The goal of this course is two-fold: to teach in Spanish and to engage all students in daily opportunities for communicating in Spanish, such as in groups and individually. Oral communication skills and class participation / preparation are significant components of the course and will be evaluated regularly. Students will also perform oral presentations on various topics. Videos and other authentic listening materials, featuring Spanish-speaking people from Spain, Latin America and the United States, will increase your understanding of spoken Spanish and add to your appreciation of contemporary Hispanic culture. 2. Reading / Writing / Culture: We will read and discuss poems, essays and/or short stories from The Course Pack and Lecturas literarias, with the goal of expanding your awareness of Hispanic culture, history, current events, and politics. You will also develop reading comprehension strategies, and write a number of paragraph-length essays, both in and out of class. Writing emphasis will be on learning ways to create more complex and interesting sentences. Please double space any prose, whether written on a computer or by hand. Seeking help on written work without permission of the instructor is not allowed; this includes using tutors for help on these assignments. Using a dictionary is fine, but use of an online translator will be considered a violation of the university policy on Academic Integrity. See BC Academic Honesty policy on the RL 115 Web Page link to *** Please note that composition topics and due dates, as well as some quizzes and other activities, are not scheduled on the syllabus. Your instructor will assign writing assignments and/or some quizzes/activities during the semester.

2 class. Remember: you are responsible for handing in work on time, and for being prepared for quizzes, regardless of whether you miss class or not. Please write any exercises assigned from Punto y aparte, Lecturas literarias, and The Course Pack on loose-leaf paper. Additionally, it is highly recommended that all students check their BC everyday, since your instructor could assign additional assignments/quizzes not listed on the syllabus. 3. Puntos clave / Laboratory: In each chapter we will study and practice new vocabulary and key grammatical structures (Puntos clave) needed to perform the major language functions described above under "Course Objectives." Regular assignments from the Manual (workbook) accompany each lesson and will be due on indicated days. Your instructor may also choose to check these activities on a more regular basis. Workbooks and Labs must be self-corrected in contrasting color ink (answers are at the back of the Manual) and will be checked when indicated on the syllabus. Copying answers from the back of the Manual without honestly doing the work will be considered a violation of the university policy on Academic Integrity. Please staple all workbook pages before handing in to instructor. Note: In all activities, spelling, accents, capitalization, punctuation, etc. count. Exercises from Punto y aparte may also be assigned and collected. Please write any exercises assigned from Punto y aparte on loose-leaf paper. To do the workbook/lab please follow these instructions: Complete the activities Check answers against answer key in the back of the workbook, correct in another colored ink by crossing out the incorrect answer and writing in the correct one. Staple the workbook chapter pages in numerical order. Unstapled pages will not be accepted. To complete the LISTENING SECTION (Práctica oral) of the Manual, log onto Canvas Select the Listen Online link and then the appropriate chapter from the list on the next page. You will then see the individual activities for that chapter. Click on the link once to play it. If that does not work for you, follow these instructions: Windows/Linux users need to right-click on each link and save it to your desktop; Mac users need to click on the link, holding the mouse down until you see the menu that gives you the option to save the file, again to the desktop (or you can click on it while holding the Control button). From your desktop, you can play each file as an MP3 in your favorite player. The answers to most of the activities are in the back of the Manual, and follow the answers to the Práctica escrita. If you have problems accessing any of the material, please go to the Language Lab in Lyons 313 and do the Práctica oral there. Access issues are not a valid reason for not completing the assignment on time.

Additional absences lower the overall class grade 1 point per absence (e.g., if your final course average is a 91/A- and you have five absences, then your overall grade will be dropped by 2 points and you will receive an 89/B+ for the course). See the College of A&S Attendance Policy via the Canvas or RL115 Web Page link. Excessive absences, even when officially excused, may result in failure. Additionally, the use of cell phones, mp3 players, or other electronic devices during class is prohibited; any use of cell phones during class, including for text messaging purposes, will affect a student's class participation grade. *** Daily homework assignments will only be accepted on the due dates indicated on the syllabus and are to be completed before class. Written assignments (essays & workbooks) are to be turned in on the days indicated on the syllabus or by your instructor (please bring a hard copy of essays to class--do not them to your instructor).

NOTE: THIS COURSE HAS A DEPARTMENTAL FINAL ON: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, from 4:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. 8. Americans with Disabilities Act. If you have a disability and will be requesting accommodations for this course, you are encouraged to register at the beginning of the semester with Kathy Duggan (Kathleen.duggan@bc.edu), Associate Director, Academic Support Services, the Connors Family Learning Center (learning disabilities and ADHD) or Paulette Durrett (mailto:paulette.durrett@bc.edu), Assistant Dean for Students with Disabilities (medical, physical, psychological, and temporary disabilities). Advance notice (one week prior to the first written quiz) and appropriate documentation (a letter outlining your accommodation needs from one of the above offices) are required for accommodations. *** Learning another language takes ongoing dedication and effort. In order to begin to master the speaking, writing, and comprehension of a language, as well as to gain an understanding of the culture(s) from which it comes, students are expected to complete the assignments given on a daily basis, rather than trying to catch up at any given point during the semester. The high academic standards of Boston College require that most students achieve a minimum proficiency level of intermediate in another language. Students enrolled in Intermediate Spanish should expect to spend at least 2 hours preparing for each 50- minute class session; some may need to spend more time than that in order to keep up with the course work. In computing grades the following numerical equivalents for the twelve letter grades will be used: A 4.00 (96-100) B (80-82) D (67-69) A (91-95) C (77-79) D 1.00 (64-66) B (87-90) C 2.00 (74-76) D-.67(60-63) B 3.00 (83-86) C (70-73) F.00 (below 60) 3 RL115 Fall 2014 syllabus

4 SYLLABUS Note: in the first two weeks of class your instructor will give a brief overview of the language functions we will practice throughout the year, most of which will probably not be new to you. You are not expected to produce these accurately at this point, but rather simply to participate on whatever level you can. We will go over all "puntos clave" in greater detail as the course progresses, and you will gradually become responsible for knowing this material. Please also note that composition topics and due dates, as well as some quizzes and other activities, are not scheduled on the syllabus. See #2 above.
