Spanish 105-106 Accelerated Syllabus Winter 2007 Spanish 105-106 Accelerated is a highly intensive course designed for students who have had approximately two years of high school Spanish or the equivalent. Spanish 105 is covered in the first block, and 106 in the second block (a separate grade is assigned for each course). Students are expected to enroll in both courses. The course objectives are to continue to develop speaking and listening proficiency, expand mastery of grammar and vocabulary, introduce reading and writing of various types of texts, and deepen understanding of and appreciation for Hispanic cultures. Required texts: Fuentes: Conversación y gramática (3rd ed.) and Fuentes: Lectura y redacción (3rd ed.). Boston: Houghton Mifflin. Fuentes: Activities Manual (Workbook and Lab Manual) Fuentes Lab Audio CDs Attendance: Learning a foreign language, like learning to play the piano or to play tennis, requires practice, and the bulk of that practice occurs in class. Attendance is especially essential in classes offered on the block, in which missing one class period is the equivalent of missing two periods of a semester-long class. You are allowed three absences per block for whatever reason (excused or otherwise) without any penalty to your grade. In addition to these three absences, you may make up a maximum of two additional absences per block by attending another section of 105-106 accelerated within five school days of the missed classes and obtaining a note from the instructor verifying your attendance and participation. Each absence beyond three that is not made up will result in 15 points being deducted from your final grade for 105 or 106. Arriving more than 10 minutes late or leaving more than 10 minutes early constitutes an absence. If you anticipate missing much more than three class periods per block, you may do better to wait and take the class at a later date when you are able to participate more fully. Preparation and participation: You are expected to come to class prepared to discuss the assigned material and actively participate. Reading the grammar explanations, articles, and short stories in the textbook prior to class as indicated in the syllabus will allow the majority of class time to be devoted to practice and communicative activities. Grading: Grades will be calculated based on the percentage you earn of the total possible points (93% = A, 90% = A-, 87% = B+, 83% = B, 80% = B-, 77 % = C+, 73% = C, 70% = C-, 67% = D+, 63% = D, 60% = D-, 59% and below = E). Grades will be based on the following approximate breakdown for both 105 and 106: Workbook and Lab Manual Laboratorio de Conversación Lecturas Redacciones (2) Actividades Culturales (2) Exámenes (2) Examen Final
20% 15% 10% 10% 10% 20% 15%
Each of these categories is explained below. Workbook and Lab Manual: Assignments in the workbook provide practice in using vocabulary and grammar, as well as preparation for the exams, which are partly based on workbook activities. Lab manual activities, located in the back of the workbook, are designed to develop listening comprehension skills. Daily homework assignments in the workbook and lab manual are indicated
in the syllabus. After completing each assignment you should check your answers in the answer key which your instructor will post on Blackboard. You will report your work to your instructor on a small informe sheet (to be provided) at the time of each exam. It is your responsibility to keep up to date on workbook assignments and report them honestly, although your instructor may also periodically ask you to turn in your Workbook and Lab Manual to verify your work. Laboratorio de Conversación: The Conversation Lab is designed to provide additional opportunities for developing your speaking skills in Spanish. A schedule for the lab will be made available during the second week of the semester. Students are required to attend and participate in the lab one hour for every chapter in the book. The lab attendant will verify your participation by stamping your informe slip. Lecturas: Fuentes: Lectura y redacción features a wide variety of short texts, including newspaper and magazine articles, informative cultural texts, short stories, and poems. The accelerated nature of the course will not allow time to read all the texts in the book, but a number of them will be assigned. You will read these texts at home and discuss them in class. For most of these readings you will take a short quiz in class to assess your reading comprehension. Once every two chapters, however, you will write a short reflection on the text and the strategies you used to understand it. The reflection should be approximately one full page, typed or neatly handwritten. Reflections should be written in English according to the following format: • Name of text and author (if listed) • Type of text (magazine article, informative cultural text, short story, etc.) • On a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest, how well did you understand this text? • On a scale from 1 to 10, how much did you enjoy reading this text? • Write a paragraph of at least five lines summarizing the plot or content of the text as you understood it. • What did you like or dislike about this text? • Were there parts that were difficult for you to understand? What strategies did you use to increase your understanding? Redacciones: Twice during the block you will write a short composition, which will be due on the dates indicated in the Calendario. Your teacher will provide feedback on the content of your writing and on your use of Spanish. Compositions should be typed, with appropriate accent marks. (A sheet explaining how to type accent marks on a word processor is available on Blackboard). Actividades Culturales: During each block you are required to attend two Hispanic cultural activities outside class. For each activity you should write a one-page summary in English of what you did and what you learned from the experience. The first activity is due at mid-block, and the second is due toward the end of the block. Further information can be found on the Actividades Culturales handout. Exámenes: Tests will be administered in the Testing Lab, B153 JFSB. You may sign up for a time in the lab one week prior to each test. The tests contain sections on listening comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, reading, and writing. Each test will also contain a speaking component, which will consist of a role-play situation done with a partner. Your teacher will distribute a sheet on which you and a partner may sign up for an oral exam time. Tests will cover the following material: 105 Accel.
Examen 1: Capítulos 1-2 Examen 2: Capítulos 3-4 Examen final 105: Caps. 1-6
106 Accel.
Examen 1: Capítulos 7-8 Examen 2: Capítulos 9-10 Examen final 106: Caps. 7-12
Missed tests may be made up, but with a 10% penalty. In order to take a test in the Testing Lab on any day other than the scheduled days, students need a written permission slip from their instructor, and a $5 late fee is assessed by the lab. Exámenes Finales: The final exams at the end of 105 and 106 will be comprehensive but will focus primarily on material from the latter part of each course. They will be administered in the Testing Lab. For 105, the final will be taken on the date indicated in the syllabus; for 106, the final will be taken during finals week, and may be taken any time beginning on the first reading day through the day scheduled for your section’s final exam. (Please note that in most cases, this means that the exam must be taken before the end of finals week.) The final exams will also contain a speaking component. In 105, the speaking test will consist of a role-play similar to those done in previous chapters. In 106, the speaking portion of the final exam will consist of a 10-15 minute oral interview, which will given by another instructor. Signup sheets for these interviews will be posted shortly prior to finals week. Failure to show up for the final interview at the time you signed up for will result in a 25% deduction on your score. Honor Code Standards: In keeping with the principles of the BYU Honor Code, students are expected to be honest in all of their academic work. Academic honesty means, most fundamentally, that any work you present as your own must in fact be your own work and not that of another. In this course, it also means that you are honest in reporting the work you do outside of class. Violations of this principle may result in a failing grade in the course and additional disciplinary action by the university. Students are also expected to adhere to the Dress and Grooming Standards. Adherence demonstrates respect for yourself and others and ensures an effective learning and working environment. It is the university’s expectation, and my own expectation in class, that each student will abide by all Honor Code standards. Please call the Honor Code Office at 422-2847 if you have questions about those standards. Preventing Sexual Discrimination or Harassment: Sexual discrimination or harassment (including student-to-student harassment) is prohibited both by the law and by Brigham Young University policy. If you feel you are being subjected to sexual discrimination or harassment, please bring your concerns to the professor. Alternatively, you may lodge a complaint with the Equal Employment Office (D-240C ASB) or with the Honor Code Office (4440). Students with Disabilities: If you have a disability that may affect your performance in this course, you should get in touch with the office of Services for Students with Disabilities (1520 WSC). This office can evaluate your disability and assist the professor in arranging for reasonable accommodations.
