Spanish 3-4 is a course that emphasizes listening, speaking, reading and writing in Spanish. Teaching strategies include direct formal instruction, total physical response storytelling (TPRS), memorization, pairing, traditional call and response, individual written exercises, collaborative exercises (oral and written), group interaction, and independent inquiry. Language learners depend on their senses in learning a language. Thus, we will be doing activities that address different learning modalities. Much of the daily practice will consist of listening and communication activities that will be done with a classmate or groups or whole class. You will be asked to sing, act, draw and to gesticulate to learn certain aspects of the language. Students in Spanish III will be striving for Novice-High to intermediate low on the ACTFL proficiency scale while students in Spanish IV will be working to advance to intermediate-mid on the ACTFL proficiency scale.
