Conference: 1st & 6th period

Room 3104

Goal: The purpose of this course is to enable students to continue to acquire proficiency in Spanish through a linguistic, communicative, and cultural approach to language learning.

Main Focuses: Application of listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. There will be additional study of advanced applied grammar with a focus on literature and culture. Cross-cultural understanding is fostered and real-life applications are emphasized throughout the course. We will use Realidades 3 textbook as the main resource and I will provide other supplemental activities.

Learning a new language is fun and exciting but it can also be difficult and stressful. It is important to show respect for every student’s abilities. I expect my students to do their best, speak Spanish as much as possible and encourage the other students in the class to do the same.

I will provide TUTORIALS after school on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 3:45pm-4:15pm. If student fails a 6 weeks period, then the student will receive an opportunity to improve their grades (up to a 70.) Student must come for an entire week.
