ATTENDANCE Absences seriously reduce learning. Three absences, maximum, per quarter are allowed. After three absences, a student may be dropped from the roll. Serious tardiness may be considered an absence. COMPOSITIONS All compositions must be turned in electronically, by 5 p.m. on the date due. Late work is not accepted. At Macintosh locations on campus, first check to see if the FLCL icon is already on the desktop. If not, the user must select the Chooser, then Appleshare, then Select the Language Lab zone, select the Foreign Language Computer Lab server, and log in as guest. Turn all work in to the drop box, and look for my comments in the Corrected Work folder. Re - writes are due back to the instructor within three days. EXAMINATIONS A test will be given at the end of each chapter. Generally, make - ups are NOT offered, as the tests have a large oral component which is time - consuming to re - enact. One test may be dropped at the end of the quarter, if none have been missed. ASSIGNMENTS Thursday classes have been eliminated in favor of an out - of - class group communicative activity. Students will sign up to work in groups of three, and should devote about an hour to the activities that will be assigned each week. Practice in speaking Spanish to share and find out information will be tested in ORAL EXAMINATIONS conducted twice during the quarter. Each group will be tested together, carrying out activities similar to the kind practiced each week. Written manual assignments should be completed and corrected. This work should be brought to class on quiz days, and will be reviewed by the instructor. The film series entitled "Destinos" will be used to give students an opportunity to listen to good, spoken Spanish frequently, and observe Hispanic culture. These tapes will be broadcast on UCSC closed circuit television on the following schedule, and will be tested along with the other class material. They will be the basis for the "4th day" outside class activity, to be done in groups of 3. Broadcasting Schedule for Spanish 2: Wednesday 4 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. , Channel 51, on campus closed circuit TV. SPANISH SECTION STANDARDS FOR GRADES/EVALUATIONS 92 - 100 - A 83 - 91 - B 74 - 82 - C 65 - 73 - D 0 - 64 - F A Passing evaluation for a student who has not requested a letter grade requires a 74 or better as an average in the course. The Final Examination must be passed with a 74 or better. LAB MANUAL Tapes to accompany Puntos are available in the Language Lab, and each student should listen to the tapes until the material can be easily worked with. The amount of time required will vary from student to student, but a minimum of one hour per week is expected. Tapes may be copied and listened to outside of the Lab. FINAL EXAMAll elementary Spanish 2 courses will be given their Final Exams together at term end on TUESDAY, JUNE 16 from 12:00 - 3:00 in Classroom Unit 2. NO EARLY FINALS WILL BE GIVEN -- NO EXCEPTIONS. Remember the time and location! ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:If you would like additional information on my section of Spanish 2, please contact me during office hours this winter!! In addition to readings and discussion of Destinos, we will see two films, listed on the attached syllabus, and discuss them in class! I allow only THREE absences per quarter, so please plan your Spring quarter outings around this requirement!
SPANISH 6 Lecturer: Carolina Rudesill Course Description This course will use a variety of communicative language techniques to totally involve students in the language, and prepare them culturally and linguistically for natural, useful conversation in a Spanish-speaking country. Heavy emphasis will be placed on learning useful, idiomatic Spanish vocabulary and in both producing and comprehending fluent, conversational Spanish. The instructor will provide time outside of class for individual review of any problem points for students, and class time will be dedicated to discussion of themes and current topics. In order to accomplish a substantial increase in oral fluency and practical vocabulary, students will see a film outside class weekly, related to the readings on themes important in Latin America today. Students will also listen to news in Spanish, both outside and in class, and prepare a reading for each class. Readings will be from current magazines and newspapers, as well as from the text, Tradición y Cambio. Class activities will include discussion of films, readings, news items, magazine articles, and typical "situations" encountered in Latin America. Each student will share bi - weekly a brief report of an article that has been read in a current newspaper or magazine in Spanish. In this way, current events and contemporary artistic efforts will be incorporated regularly into the class discussion. In addition, each student will research and present a 5 - 10 minute oral report on an author, artist, historical event, city or other appropriate topic during the quarter. As there will be ample out-of-class listening opportunities, class time will be an active sharing time, with the instructor's participation being primarily as a leader and facilitator, but certainly not "lecturing". Students will write 4 papers of 3 - 5 pages during the quarter, turned in and revised by computer. The instructor will work closely with individual students to help them increase vocabulary and develop a style of their own in writing Spanish. Readings and films on the following topics will provide background for discussion/papers:
Possible films for weekly viewing:
BASIS OF EVALUATION OF STUDENTS Students will be evaluated on the basis of: written essays, regular participation in class activities and discussions; quizzes covering vocabulary and material from readings, tapes, films etc.; presentation of an oral report; bi-weekly presentation of a film review or article from a Spanish news program or magazine, two interviews with the instructor ( one as a midterm, the other as a final). There will also be a telephonic interview (the hardest form of communication in a foreign language!) during the last 3 weeks of class. In addition, students will prepare a brief tape discussing some theme from the class with another student, and submit it to the instructor during the first 5 weeks of the quarter. The instructor will provide detailed evaluation of each tape, giving the student specific pointers to improve his/her oral skills.
