INTRODUCTION: Welcome to the second semester of Intermediate Spanish! This class is
for students who have completed the first three semesters of college level Spanish or those
students who have had an equivalent experience. Students who have had an extended
residency in a Spanish-speaking country normally should not register for this course.
Course Objectives:
By this time, you have discovered that studying a foreign language can be a rewarding experience but
one that requires a high level of commitment. The goal of this class is to help you improve your
communicative skills in Spanish. Time will be devoted to reviewing Spanish grammar, reading, writing,
speaking, and developing some cultural awareness of the Spanish-speaking people. Specifically, you
should be aware of the following objectives:
 Speaking—Students will improve their ability to express themselves orally by increasing their
active and passive vocabularies, improving listening comprehension, and by practicing language
in meaningful situations.
 Writing—Students will produce relatively complex writing samples with fewer and fewer syntax
and vocabulary errors.
 Reading—Students will be challenged to develop their reading skills with authentic literary
materials. They will be able to understand and discuss them. Use this experience to develop
your vocabulary even more.

Culture— Students grasp the concept of culture through comparison of the target
culture(s) and their native culture.
By the end of this course, successful students will:
 Demonstrate communicating skills at a high intermediate level.
 Create with language, having the ability to speak in sentences, combining known elements to say
things that he/she perhaps never said before.
 Have an increased ability in the areas of listening, reading and writing.
 Understand cultural differences between their native culture and the Hispanic culture.
VERTICAL CREDIT: Upon completing a higher level Spanish class with a grade of C or
better, a student may receive vertical credits for the Spanish classes he/she has skipped over.
GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS: Students desiring the Associate of Arts
degree will need a total of 8 credits in a foreign language. Students receiving vertical credits for
the first year classes would fill this requirement.
TEXTS:

Más allá de las palabras (Second Edition) por Kelley, Gallego Smith, Esparragoza Scott,
Godev
La dama del alba by Alejandro Casona (will be loaned to you)
Album, by Valette (will be loaned to you also)
GRADES: Grades will be determined on a percentage of the total points possible. Grades will
be determined by your performance in the following activities:
UNIT TESTS: Tests will be given at the end of each grammar unit. These tests will include
vocabulary, grammar, and writing sections. Tests may also contain some materials studied in
previous units. The tests will be worth 100 points each. You will be allowed to take one late
test only (you have to have a very good excuse) No early final exams will be given. Arrange
your travel plans so that you are here to take the final with the entire class.
WORKBOOK: The workbook exercises will be required of each student. You should
complete each exercise and correct your work before handing it in. Please correct it in red. You
may verify your answers in the back of the book “after you have done the exercises”. This will
be due at the beginning of the class period on the day the unit test is given for the corresponding
unit. The workbook will NOT be accepted late. Each workbook assignment is worth 25 points.
Presentaciones Culturales: You will give a cultural presentation of about 15 minutes.
Your teacher will take a class period to explain and give assignments.
ASSIGNMENTS: You are expected to read the chapters (and readings) before coming to class.
In other words, you are expected to be prepared for class. Other assignments will be explained
in class as we approach each of our readings. We will read La dama del alba and other literary
works from Album.
QUIZZES: Short preparation quizzes may be given from time to time. These may not be taken
late or made up. Come prepared for a quiz on the days we are to discuss a literary reading.
ATTENDANCE AND PARTICIPATION: I expect you to be in class every day prepared to
participate in class activities. Speaking Spanish in class is an important part of class
participation. Excessive absences (5) may lower your grade one step (A to A-). As a courtesy,
you should also be on time to class and add to class discussions in a positive manner.
EXTRA CREDIT: No extra credit will be given.
Your grade will be determined according to the following scale and in line with the following
descriptions:
93-100 = A
90-92 = A87-89 = B+
83-86 = B
80-82 = B77-79 = C+
73-76 = C
70-72 = C-
67-69 = D+
63-66 = D
60-62 = D00-59 = F
NOTA FINAL: Se basará en el porcentaje de puntos acumulados por el estudiante en relación al total de
puntos posibles.
NOTE: I expect that all work completed will be your own. Any plagiarized work will receive
no credit, and the offending student will be referred to the Student Affairs Committee.
CHANGES: Any needed changes to these procedures and class policies will be announced
in class.
DISABILITY RESOURCE CENTER:

major life activity, please contact the Disability Resource Center on the main campus. The Center
