1 SPRING 2015 Elementary Spanish XL 3/Units: 4 / Reg.#: SATURDAYS: 9:00 am 12:30 pm.: April 4 th June 20 th (11 mtgs. /No mtg. 05/23) UCLA: Room 1264 School of Public Affairs Bldg. Instructor: Emilia Chuquin, PhD. Course Description Spanish XL 3 is the third of a three-quarter series (Spanish 1, 2, 3) of elementary Spanish language and culture (first college-level Spanish). It is designed to continue to introduce you to the Spanish language and the many facets of Hispanic culture. The communicative integrated language teaching approach method will be used in this course. It will develop linguistic fluency in an interactive way. Therefore, this class will be centered in helping students to develop communicative competence in all language skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. These activities also will give an opportunity for the student to practice grammatical structures, acquire new vocabulary, and idiomatic expressions to be used in communicative activities. Likewise, this course will help the student to build up cultural insights in an analytical manner by examining information, ideas, historical events from Americas and Spain. Objectives The goals and objectives of Spanish XL 3 are to continue developing linguistic fluency and attain proficiency in all four communicative skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. The main objective is to introduce students to the present subjunctive for expressing expectations, hopes, emotions, opinions, attitudes, doubts, conjectures, conditional, past perfect, imperfect subjunctive, hypothesizing about the present and the future. This course also will expand more about direct and indirect object pronouns, review the past imperfect and the preterit, por and para, possessive pronouns and adjectives. More importantly, in order to acquire fluency in Spanish this course will be based in many interactive class conversational activities such as discussions, role-plays, debates, brainstorms, poems, and oral reports in an analytical manner. Thus, you will participate in pair and group activities that will give you the opportunity to practice your Spanish in a relaxed environment. Grammar is necessary for communication. However, vocabulary, discourse strategies and familiarity with the cultural norms are equally important. Spanish XL 3 will be conducted entirely in Spanish.
