Beginning French 1 is designed to help novice students gain basic proficiency in the French language. The primary goal is to acquire mastery of the fundamentals of French. In the course, students employ various multimedia techniques to aid in learning and using the French language. Students also examine elements of Francophone culture through virtual field trips abroad.
Although this course includes an aural component, it does not attempt to measure a student's acquisition of oral skills. Rather the course focuses on grammar, vocabulary, parts of speech, and the other written components you must master in order to read, write, and comprehend a foreign language. Students are strongly encouraged (but not required) to hone their oral skills using the resources that supplement the course text. |

This is an introductory course in the Spanish language that presents vocabulary, grammar, and syntax to students in a series of theme-based units. It assumes students have limited or no exposure to the language, whether in real-world settings or more formal classroom environments. Given the theme-based approach to each unit, topics of cultural, historical, and geographic interest are used as integrated pieces of unit objectives in the areas of vocabulary and grammar. In addition, directed activities ask that students develop a cultural sensitivity toward those who speak Spanish and toward their heritage, and open investigations ask that students use Web-based sources to make their own discoveries.
As with all our other language courses, although Beginning Spanish 1, X28 includes an aural component, this course does not attempt to measure a student?s acquisition of oral skills in the target language. Rather, the course focuses on grammar, vocabulary, parts of speech, and the other written components which one must master in order to read, write, and comprehend a foreign language. Students are strongly encouraged (but not required) to hone their oral skills using the resources that supplement the course text. |

This course provides an in-depth analysis of the rationale and methodologies for teaching writing in a second language. Some of the most influential and commonly cited articles on the subject are reviewed and practical techniques with their application in the classroom are emphasized. Issues of central concern to contemporary writing teachers, such as the relationship between reading and writing, reader awareness, and the processes of composition and revision, are highlighted. Instruction also focuses on how a teacher responds to and assesses student writing, as well as how to awaken the student writer's inner voice. Students work on projects or design lesson plans related to the topics presented. |
