Learning a language is an enriching and challenging process that involves acquiring the ability to communicate in a language other than one's mother tongue. OBJETIVES: 1. **Development of communicative skills:** The main expectation is that students will improve their communication skills in Spanish, both in oral and written expression. This includes the ability to understand and respond in everyday situations, as well as the ability to write coherent and effective texts. 2. **Vocabulary and grammar acquisition:** Students should expect to learn new vocabulary and understand the grammatical rules of Spanish. This involves knowing nouns, verbs, adjectives, pronouns, and other parts of grammar, as well as learning how to use them correctly. 3. **Listening and Reading Comprehension:** Students are expected to improve their ability to understand spoken and written Spanish. This involves understanding conversations, television programs, movies, music, as well as reading texts in Spanish, such as books, news, and websites. 4. **Culture and context:** Spanish classes often include cultural aspects and contextualization so that students understand how the language is used in different contexts. This may include the history and culture of Spanish-speaking countries. 5. **Interaction and participation:** Students must be willing to actively participate in class. This includes speaking in Spanish during practical activities, asking questions to clarify doubts, and participating in group discussions and activities. 6. **Assignments and Assessment:** Students are expected to complete assigned tasks and projects, such as homework, tests, and final projects. Assessment is used to measure student progress and understanding. 7. **Constant practice:** Learning a language requires constant practice, so students are expected to spend time outside of class reviewing and practicing what they have learned. 8. **Flexibility and adaptation:** Students must be willing to adapt to different pedagogical approaches, as teaching methods may vary by teacher and educational institution. 9. ** Dedication and patience:** Learning a language can be a challenging process, so students are expected to be patient and willing to face challenges along the way. 10. **Personal goals and specific objectives:** Students should set personal objectives and specific goals for their Spanish learning. This helps to maintain motivation and measure progress over time. In summary, in this Spanish learning class we seek to provide students with the skills necessary to communicate effectively in Spanish and understand the Spanish-speaking culture. However, success in learning the language also depends heavily on the individual effort and dedication of the students outside of the online meetings (Zoom, Meet or M Teams).
