¡Bienvenidos! Welcome to Spanish 1500! Your studies of Spanish allow you to learn about a new

culture, and will enhance your studies in other academic fields and your future job prospects.

COURSE DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES

The Review of Elementary Spanish course is designed to develop your basic Spanish proficiency as

well as your appreciation and understanding of the cultures of Spanish-speaking countries. This course

is based on the integration of learning outcomes across Interpersonal, Interpretive, and Presentational

Modes of Communication. You will accomplish real-world communicative tasks in culturally

appropriate ways as you develop familiarity with products, practices, and perspectives of Hispanic

cultures. You will learn grammar, vocabulary, and language functions to enable you to meet

performance goals at this level and to build a foundation for continued language learning. During this

course, you will perform better and stronger in the Novice range while some abilities emerge in the

Intermediate range.

By the end of this semester, you should also be able to understand and communicate on the following

topics: travel, family, food and dining, student life, shopping, leisure activates, and travel, as well as

interesting information about Hispanic cultures. Based on the Ohio State Learning Outcomes of

second-semester Spanish course, at the end of this semester you can reasonably expect to be able to

function in Spanish as described below. (Learning outcomes with an asterisk are essential.)

Interpersonal Communication:

*1. Students show evidence of the ability to create with language in various timeframes to exchange

information on familiar topics and to handle short, social interactions in culturally appropriate ways

using contextualized words, phrases, common idiomatic expressions, and sentences, sometimes still

supported by highly practiced language.

a. Functional ability includes:

asking and answering basic questions;

giving simple explanations and excuses;

asking for and giving simple directions and advice;

stating simple comparisons and contrasts;

making selections and participating in basic negotiations; and

stating what people, places, and things are like with some details.

b. Students use culturally appropriate gestures and formulaic expressions in highly practiced

situations and show awareness of the most obvious cultural differences or prohibitions.

2. Students are also working towards participating in conversations in various timeframes on a greater

variety of familiar topics and handling short, social interactions in culturally appropriate ways in

everyday situations by asking and answering questions.

Interpretive Listening/Viewing:

topics, with or without visual support.

b. Students use context cues for basic comprehension.

c. Students use their own cultural background and some easily recognizable elements from the

target language culture(s) to derive meaning.

2. Students are also working towards demonstrating understanding of the main idea and many details

on a greater selection of familiar topics in a variety of oral texts and media.

Interpretive Reading:

INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES

The primary focus of this class is to develop your ability to understand spoken and written Spanish and

to increase your skill in expressing yourself in simple situations. You can expect to be able to

communicate with speakers of Spanish even though you make mistakes. This class will use reading and

writing activities to enhance your grasp of vocabulary and to provide you with opportunities to express

yourself in Spanish. Class time will be devoted almost exclusively to activities that allow you to

practice your skills of understanding and interacting in Spanish. Class time will not be spent doing only

grammar drills, translating, or listening to lengthy explanations of grammar.

CLASSROOM PROCEDURES

Missed Class Policy

Attendance is mandatory. You cannot learn Spanish unless you are in class. For most of you, the class

hour is your only contact with Spanish. IF YOU DO NOT NEED TO ATTEND THIS CLASS TO

LEARN SPANISH AND TO PASS THE EXAMS, YOU BELONG IN A MORE ADVANCED

SPANISH CLASS

Students are expected to attend every class meeting at UT. Only in specific, unavoidable situations does

the University excuse absences from class: 1) personal emergencies, including, but not limited to,

illness of the student or of a dependent of the student [as defined by the Board of Trustees’ Policy on

Family and Medical Leave], or death of a member of the immediate family; 2) religious observances

that prevent the student from attending class; 3) participation in University-sponsored activities,

approved by the appropriate University authority, such as intercollegiate athletic competitions,

activities approved by academic units, including artistic performances, R.O.T.C. functions, academic

field trips, and special events connected with coursework; 4) government-required activities, such as

military assignments, jury duty, or court appearances; and 5) any other absence that the professor

approves.

SPAN 1500 Otoño 2017

4

We recognize that things can happen that prevent you from attending class. Consequently, each student

is allowed two unexcused absences; any more than two is considered excessive. These two absences

are not “free” days, but should be viewed as personal days and as such are to cover illnesses, weddings,

job interviews, out of town concerts for band members, etc. Absences will not be excused for work

conflicts. If you have a job which conflicts with your schedule, either change your work hours or

change your class hours.

Consistently late arrivals or early departures will affect your participation grade. Arriving late is

impolite and disruptive. Please make every effort to arrive on time. If you have a conflict that causes

you to be constantly late to class or to have to leave early, you should resolve that conflict or you may

be counted absent at your instructor's discretion.

For each unexcused absence after the second one, one percentage point will be deducted from your

final average. This means that your instructor will add up all exams, quizzes, participation, and journal

grades, average them, and THEN s/he will deduct for absences. For example, if you end up missing a

total of 7 unexcused classes, you will lose 5 percentage points, dropping your final grade, from B+

(87.3%) to B- (82.3%). On the other hand, if you have never missed any class (excused or unexcused)

during the semester, an extra three percentage points will be added to your final grade, which may

boost your grade, for example, from B+ (89.9%) to A- (92.9%).

You bear the responsibility of notifying your instructor in writing of any absences you anticipate.

Absences while on university business are not counted as absences as long as the official list of days

not present in class is given to the instructor in advance. (Students are responsible for making up work

but do not lose participation points while on university business.) It is strongly recommended that you

use two of the three methods: email, writing, or voice mail, to ensure that the instructor is properly

notified of the planned absence. In the event that the instructor does not receive your notification, you

should be prepared to present an alternative excuse. It will be at the instructor’s discretion to approve or

disapprove of the alternative excuse. In the event of an unavoidable short notice for a University-

approved activity where you are eligible for an excused absence, you will notify instructors in writing

as soon as possible upon learning of the activity. In the case of your illness or a death in the family,

you shall provide a written explanation for your absence immediately upon returning to class. It is the

student's responsibility to get absences excused if necessary. Documentation must be an official

letter or note from a doctor with a contact phone number, letter on letterhead from place of employment,

death notice/obituary, program from funeral, and so on.

Late work and make-ups

No late work or make-up work will be considered without written documentation for your absence.

Note that no make-ups for exams will be given, unless you present formal, written documentation

accepted by your instructor, which is due immediately upon your return to class. You must be ready to

take the exam no later than the day after your return. Any missed assignment must be turned in the

following class period, along with the above-mentioned documentation. You are ultimately responsible

for material covered in class, regardless of whether you are absent or present. Authorized absences do

not relieve you of course responsibilities; you are still expected to have completed all the preparation

for the class and the class that follows it.

Class Participation

Daily class participation is a vital part of developing your listening and speaking proficiency in Spanish.

SPAN 1500 Otoño 2017

5

For most of you, the class hour is your only contact with Spanish. You must prepare your homework

prior to the class period, and while in class, you must actively contribute to the activities being

practiced.

Your instructor will give you your participation grade regularly. If you do not agree with the

participation grade, you should speak to your instructor immediately. SEEK HELP AS THE NEED

ARISES. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE! Disputes over participation grades should not wait until the

end of the semester since they are much more difficult to document and handle then. Note that the daily

participation grade for any unexcused absence is zero.

The following is the criteria of the participation grade. You should use this information during any

discussion with your instructor regarding your performance. Your instructor may use a different format

(for example, student self-evaluation) or give participation grades at different intervals, and she/he will

announce that in the beginning of the semester.

Classroom etiquette

Please remember to turn OFF all electronic devices in the classroom. This means no pagers, no

iPods, no cellphones or any other electronic devices may be used during class or during exams. You

will not be allowed to twitter, send emails or IMS during class time. You may not leave the room once

an exam has begun. Finally, punctuality is expected. Chronic tardiness will be counted as absences

and will affect your grade accordingly.

Homework assignments

The major part of homework assignments is web-based activities from the iLrn website

http://ilrn.heinle.com/. The iLrn is an online version of the textbook and Student Activity Manual plus

the recorded material from the Text Audio and SAM Audio Programs and a Video Library. This online

learning environment provides you immediate feedback so you can monitor your progress. You should

do the online activities that your instructor assigns to you every day and complete them all by the due

date that your instructor requires. To log in to your account, go to http://hlc.quia.com/books.

You may go to the Cengage’s Digital Course Support

(http://www.cengage.com/tlconnect/client/product/fcis.do?productId=30 ) site for resources such as:

Student Video: Create an Account

Student Video: Login to My Class

First Day Flyer: Getting Started with iLrn

You can access the iLrn from any computer--PC or Mac--that connects to the server with web browser.

In the beginning, give yourself plenty of time to try out the online activities if you are not familiar with

the online workbook. Be patient and seek help immediately when you encounter technical

problems. The rest is easy once you get things going. Assignments will be checked as often as the

instructor requires. Do not procrastinate. For technical problems, go to Technical Support at

http://hlc.quia.com/support or your instructor for assistance.

Journal

You are expected to keep a journal. The free-writing style of journals is an excellent vehicle to improve

your fluency in written Spanish. Your journal entries will relate to the particular topic being discussed

in class during that week or the topic assigned by your instructor. You will also be required to

accurately incorporate or utilize the grammar that is being covered that week in class. Each journal

SPAN 1500 Otoño 2017

7

entry will be given (10), (5), or (0) points. You will receive 10 points 1) if your entries are of

appropriate length; 2) if they address the appropriate topics; 3) and if they demonstrate adequate use of

the grammar of the week, when applicable. You will receive 5 points if one of the above criteria is not

met, and zero points if two or more of the above criteria are not met. Your instructor will comment on

the content of your journal but will not mark each grammatical error in your writing.

Exams and quizzes

All departmental exams must be taken on the dates indicated on your syllabus. Chapter tests are listed

in the syllabus tentatively scheduled. The dates might be adjusted at the instructor’s discretion,

depending on your learning and progress. There will be a minimum of 5 chapter tests, typically one test

per chapter. Your instructor may also give additional tests or quizzes at her/her discretion. The chapter

test will cover any combination of vocabulary, grammar, listening, reading and writing tasks. The

comprehensive exams are cumulative with a focus on your ability to actual language use in real-life

contexts. More importantly, the exams and tests should be considered as an extension of the kinds of

activities that you will be asked to prepare for and perform in daily classes. If you prepare

conscientiously for class and attend regularly, you should do well. All exams will be returned for

review in class within one week and then kept by your instructor throughout the semester.

Speaking tests

Speaking tests will be administered in the middle and at the end of the semester to assess your oral

proficiency, the primary objective of the first-year course sequence. The speaking tests in the midterm

and final exams include two formats: face-to-face, one-on-one interview with your instructor or a

fellow classmate and a formal presentation. In the interview, you will have a conversation with a

partner on various topics covered by the midterm or the final and you should be ready to give a brief

exposition of the topic and then initiate and answer questions. Just before your appointment time, you

will be given a real-life role-play situation in a topic practiced in your class activities this semester. The

oral presentation in the class will be done in the mid and at the end of semester on a topic approved by

your instructor. Your instructor will give you specific instruction later. Your oral performance in the

tests will be video recorded as an evidence of your progress in the semester.

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Expected Time Required (Approximate): A general guideline for the amount of time you

should plan to dedicate to this course is 2-3 hours of homework per hour spent in class.

Academic misconduct: Cheating is not tolerated on either exams or homework. Anyone

caught copying from others or allowing others to copy their work is subject to receiving an “F” for the

work in question or for the course. Cases of plagiarizing, cheating, collusion and other academic mis-

conduct will be referred to the Office of Dean of the College of Languages, Literature, and Social Sci-

ences. For a complete policy statement on academic dishonesty see

http://www.utoledo.edu/dl/students/dishonesty.html.

Foreign Language Learning Center (FLLC) (phone 419-530-5959, Field House #2330,

http://www.utoledo.edu/llss/forlang/lab/index.html ): There are personal computers available (Mac

and PC) for your use in the Center (also called Language Lab). You may use these computers for writ-

ten assignments or check multimedia materials. Lab activities are very important for your success

learning a second language. The more you listen and practice, the more you learn. While you may

complete the electronic workbook assignment anywhere you have the Internet connection, you may

also use the FLLC for this purpose. The Foreign Language Learning Center also has a collection of

foreign language films which you may borrow overnight or view on-site. In addition, the FLLC has

Change of class section: You will not be permitted to change class sections after the second

week.

Comprehensive exams: All mid-term and final exams are the property of the Department of

Foreign Languages and must be returned to the instructor upon his/her request. If you wish to look

over your midterm exams before final exam, you may make an appointment with your instructor.

Extra credit: Assignments will NOT be made to individuals for extra credits; as such arrange-

ments are inequitable if not offered to the entire class.

Accessibility: Students with special needs or learning disabilities are urged to contact their in-

structors early in the semester to secure the best possible learning environment. If you have a disability

that requires a classroom accommodation, you need to register with the Office of Accessibility, Rocket
