Spanish I Part I
This course is an introduction to the study of the target language and its culture. Students perform the most basic functions of the language and become familiar with some elements of its culture. The emphasis is placed on the development of the four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing within a given context extending outside of the classroom setting when possible. The context focuses on the students��� lives and experiences and includes an exposure to every day customs and lifestyles. Grammar is integrated throughout the course and is selected according to the language conventions (functions). A general introduction to the culture, its products (eg,, literature, laws, foods, games) perspectives (eg., attitudes, values, beliefs) and practices (patterns of social interaction) is integrated throughout the course. Students acquire some insight into how languages and cultures work by comparing the target language and culture to their own. Integration of other disciplines is on-going throughout the course.
