SPANISH 102, FALL 2017 MS. MILAGROS SWERDLOW 420 Thompson-Clark, x7264 Office Hours: MF 11:40 am-12:40 pm and Wednesdays 8:10-9:10 am Course ID: CRSKL7N-555056 COMPONENTS: Textbook - Mosaicos: Spanish as a World Language, Sixth Edition (You may not use the Instructor s edition under any circumstance) Castells / Guzmán / La Puerta / Liskin-Gasparro On-Line Component: MySpanishLab (Must be purchased and registered under your name) COURSE OBJECTIVES: The general focus of this course is to develop students target language skills to the novice high level in the four communication skills, which include spoken and written communication, as well as listening and reading comprehension within a cultural context. COURSE OUTCOMES AND ASSESSMENT (IN PARENTHESES): Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to: Communicate effectively at the novice high level of proficiency as described in the ACTFL guidelines (classroom activities, writing activities, homework assignments, and exams). Demonstrate an understanding of relevant aspects of high and popular culture in their original context (written and oral classroom activities, reading comprehension activities, and presentations). Make effective connections to additional areas of knowledge relevant to the use of foreign languages in other disciplines (writing activities, reading comprehension activities, and interviews). Demonstrate an understanding of world communities framed by the student s experience of their own culture and perception of the world (cultural research activities, presentation and discussion of research). Compare and contrast their own language and culture to the target language and demonstrate an understanding that there are multiple ways of viewing the world (analysis of reading assignments, presentations, and grammar exercises). COURSE STRUCTURE: Mosaicos is a college Spanish textbook designed to encourage the development of communicative proficiency through an integrated approach to the teaching of all four language skills: listening, reading, writing, and speaking. It also aims to foster cultural awareness of customs and traditions of the Spanish speaking world. In this course, we will cover chapters 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 of your Mosaicos components.
Your final grade will be based on the following percentages: Exams (4) 45% Participation (Textbook activities & preparation of in-class activities) 10% Presentation (1) 15% MySpanishLab activities (online) 15% Final Exam 15% There will be an exam at the end of each chapter. They are full-length tests (100 pts.) and may include exercises that correspond to all four skills. In preparation for an exam, it is your responsibility to review the material studied in the textbook, MySpanishLab, and class. It is crucial that students come prepared thoroughly for every class. When you are called upon in class, your participation is expected as it will be based on your preparation of assigned work, class notes, handouts and in-class activities. Class participation also includes your willingness to take risks to communicate in Spanish, your cooperation in group and pair work, and your respect for and attitude towards the class and your peers. Be enthusiastic about speaking in class. It can only help you learn more. If a student fails to either have completed or to turn in Textbook activities when asked, his or her participation grade will be affected adversely. Students will give a presentation. Presenters should be ready to respond to questions from the audience. Only the target language (Spanish) may be used during this in-class activity. Evaluation will focus on communication, accuracy, fluency, vocabulary and pronunciation. Presenters will be assigned a topic/date and careful preparation is expected. There will be no make-ups if this assignment is missed. There will be a final exam at the end of the semester. The written portion will focus mostly on material covered in chapter 10, and the oral portion will test the oral skills you have developed over the course of the semester. ATTENDANCE POLICY Attendance at all meetings is mandatory. Valid excuses will be accepted; however, only the instructor will decide if an excuse is valid. Excuses must be provided to the instructor within one week of the absence. Beyond three unexcused absences, the student s final average will be lowered one level for each class missed. For example, a student whose average is a B will have the grade lowered to a B- for 4 absences, to a C+ for 5, to a C for 6, to a C- for 7, etc. Furthermore, if you are unable for any reason to attend a class, it is your responsibility to find out what was missed by checking with a classmate. Do not try to attend the other section of this course without the permission of the instructor. If you do not bring your textbook / workbook to a class session, you will be marked absent unless an exam is scheduled for that day. LATE ASSIGNMENTS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. NO MAKE-UPS OF EXAMS WILL BE GIVEN IN THE EVENT OF AN UNEXCUSED ABSENCE. IN THE EVENT THAT YOU MISS AN EXAM FOR A VALID REASON, A MAKE-UP WILL BE GIVEN IN AN EXCLUSIVELY ORAL FORMAT. ADDITIONALLY, NO INCOMPLETES FOR THIS COURSE WILL BE GIVEN. Cell phones are to be turned off and out of sight during the entire class period. If you break this policy, you will be marked absent for the day and your participation grade will suffer.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY The College s policy on academic integrity can be found in the latest version of the student handbook, and it can be accessed through the college s website.

MySpanishLab provides the following advantages: Self-pacing. You can work ahead. However, you can t fall behind. Opportunity for Improvement: You can attempt each exercise up to six times. The program keeps your highest score. An attempt counts when a student clicks and opens an activity in the course. Even if the student closes the activity and does not submit it for grading, that attempt will count. Each time the activity is opened, no matter what the student does after that point, an attempt has been used. Easy access. It works from any computer with Internet access.
