Spanish I emphasizes the use of Spanish for communication in basic everyday
expressions. The course includes basic concepts and continues toward advanced
grammar and usage. Emphasis is placed on the development of advanced proficiency in
the four language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) and
the acquisition of vocabulary and idiomatic expressions. Directed compositions, a study of Hispanic civilization, and an introduction
to Hispanic literature are included. This course is intended for students
who seek to gain knowledge of the Spanish language and the ability to communicate in Spanish.
This is a Hybrid course
Hybrid
classes are a combination of online and classroom instruction. Students and teacher will work online via the Internet, but we
will also meet part of the time --usually one day a week-- in the classroom. This format gives students the best
of both worlds--the Internet and the classroom--and at the same time, allows more flexibility. Our experience has been
that these classes will require you to be "in attendance" the same amount of time as your regular classes do . . . but that
they give you (and your teacher) more flexibility in how that time is used.
