interpret, comprehend, and produce spoken and written linguistic communication including both verbal and non-verbal cues at a high intermediate level. Students read and comprehend assigned texts and literary pieces, interpret artistic works, write essays to question author's or artist's purpose, summarize main ideas and themes, and logically consider alternative conclusions. Communication: The Intermediate Spanish II courses include effective development, interpretation, and expression of ideas through written, oral and visual communication. Students must demonstrate the ability to communicate orally and in writing with native language speakers and logically analyze significant points of view. Since current trends in language pedagogy include video presentation as well as web and audio blogs, this additionally includes interpretation and production of culturally specific non-verbal communication. This course will assist and evaluate the abilities students need to effectively communicate their ideas by providing modeling of good communication and providing opportunity for the students to present oral and written compositions. Personal Responsibility: Due to the inherent differences between the culture of the target language and that of the native language, students are shown to evaluate their own ability to connect choices, actions and consequences to ethical decision-making as well as identify why someone from a different culture may make different decisions based on their distinct beliefs and values. Students articulate their own ethical values and identify the origin of their values. Students have an awareness and understanding of the choices they make and why they make them. Students are able to reference factors that influence their decisions. Students recognize ethical issues in the social context of problems. Students are able to make connections between their standards of behavior and the world that surrounds them. Their decision-making reflects awareness of issues beyond their immediate environment and show evidence that they are able to make such connections. Students analyze alternative ethical perspectives and predict the ramifications of those perspectives to a situation. Students demonstrate that they are able to see more than one approach or perspective to a situation and can think systematically about possible consequences stemming from actions based on these perspectives. Social Responsibility: The Intermediate Spanish II courses increase a student s intercultural competence, knowledge of civic responsibility and ability to engage effectively in regional, national, and global communities by methodically evaluating implications and consequences of actions taken related to the specific countries of the target language. Students gather evidence from reliable sources in order to write essays demonstrating their knowledge of the target
languages regional and national issues as well as overall global issues thereby gaining a greater awareness of their own civic responsibility. Students identify social and/or aesthetic issues and analyze them in light of a variety of cultural perspectives. Students identify and critique the broader impact (regional, national, and global) of their social, political, aesthetic, or economic issue. Students identify and appraise the impact of prejudices on attitudes and behaviors. Teamwork: This course utilizes cooperative learning in order to develop teamwork. This includes, but it is not limited to discussions, reciprocal teaching, writing, problem solving, etc. The student's final course grade will be determined by his/her performance in the following: Homework from the Textbook, Online Workbook 20% Exams 40% Final Exam/Oral Interview 30%/10% In accordance with the San Antonio College grading standard, final course grades will be assigned on the basis of the following scale: 100-90 = A 89-80 = B 79-70 = C 69-60 = D Below 60 = F Quia homework assignments Capítulo preliminar: Para empezar 9/15/2013 Texto: P- 1-1, 2, 3, 4, 5; P- 2-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 PEO- 22A, B, C; PEO- 23A, B,C; PEO- 24A, B, C, D, E; PEO- 25A, B, C; PEO- 26A, C; PEO- 27A, B, C, D; PEO- 28A, B, C; PEO- 29 Capítulo 1 9/15/2013
