The point of this class is to teach you as much Spanish as possible. If you want to learn more, and possibly earn some extra credit, here's how:
1. Get a Spanish-language pen pal via
the internet. Go to
Intercambio
Cultural Español Inglés
http://www.lingolex.com/ceengf.htm or http://www.LanguageTrade.com/ LanguageTrade™ Using this site, it is
possible to speak to people in Hispanic countries via Yahoo Instant
Messenger and your computer's microphone.
2. Practice grammatical structures on
the web:

I. Description of the course. Sp 24 is the fourth course in AC's Spanish language
program. This course focuses on communicative skills. Class time will
be devoted primarily to discussions of readings, oral practice,
listening comprehension practice, and vocabulary acquisition.
Students are expected to review grammar rules and forms outside of
class. Most of the grammar encountered in this class will not be new
to you. This is because the purpose of the course is not to learn new
rules and forms, but rather to learn to apply the rules in
communicative situations.
There are seven communicative goals for this course:
- describing and comparing in detail
- narrating in the present
- narrating in the past
- narrating in the future
- giving advice, expressing opinions and reacting to dramatic events and situations
- talking about likes and dislikes and explaining why
- hypothesizing about both personal and impersonal topics
In both oral and written work, you
will learn to support your opinions clearly and convincingly.
The course will be taught
entirely in Spanish.
II. Attendance. Regular attendance is especially important in language classes. Students may make up any exam, quiz, or other assignment only if the absence occurs as a result of participation in an official Austin College athletic or other event, a serious illness, or some other unavoidable circumstance beyond the student's control.

There will be two major exams, each covering two chapters.
The final exam will be comprehensive.
Each student will write two compositions during the semester, each one of 500 words. The topics of these compositions will be specified later.
On seven Fridays during the semester, small groups of students will meet with me for 10-minute conversations, during which they will discuss a short story from Leyendas latinoamericanas. The other Fridays during the semester, we will not have class.
E. Vocabulary and other quizzes (5%)
Throughout the semester, I will give quizzes on both vocabulary and grammatical structures and forms.
You will be responsible for completing the workbook assignments as indicated in the course outline. If the assignment ends in the middle of a page, complete the page, but hold on to it until you turn it in with the next assignment. You will receive full credit only after you have completed the assignment, checked your answers with another color of ink, and handed in the assignment on time. An answer key is provided at the back of the Manual so that students may check their own work.
A new, exciting aspect of the Punto y aparte text is the CD-ROM. Six times during the semester, we will meeti in the computer lab of the Jordan Family Language House (as indicated in the course outline below). During these class meetings, students will be able to view digital video segments, listen to dictations, and complete inerative readings and exercises. There will also be CD-ROM assignments outside of class, to be completed by using the computers in the Abell Library.
It is understood that all students are subject to the rules of conduct set forth in the Austin College academic integrity policy. It is also understood that the instructor reserves the right to modify this syllabus as needed during the semester.
