Spanish I
Course ID: 1024
This program is designed to introduce students to the Spanish language and its culture. Students will be equipped with a structural foundation of vocabulary and grammar that will enable them to communicate in the target language at a beginning level. In addition, students will gain knowledge about Hispanic beliefs, values, social behavior and culture. They will memorize and recite Scripture passages to improve pronunciation skills and prepare to share the gospel with native Spanish-speakers. Spanish I receives a high school credit with a natural progression to Spanish II, meeting the state requirements for high school foreign language. This course is designed to strengthen the student's knowledge in five skill areas: listening, speaking, reading, writing, and culture. Average students should expect to spend about 4-5 hours a week outside of the classroom on their assignments for this class. Again, this estimate of 4-5 hours of outside classroom work is based on an average. If a student does not stay focused, or if a student is missing any pre-requisite knowledge necessary for this course, they may spend more than 4-5 hours a week. Conversely, if a student is gifted in this field, they may spend less than 4-5 hours a week of outside classroom time on assignments and studying.
