Español I – Syllabus
¡Bienvenido a la clase de
español!
The time for EXPLORATION has arrived, Class of 2019! Together,
as we explore the Spanish language and the diverse culture it
represents, we will discover more about ourselves and our own
language, and make ourselves increasingly eligible to potential
employers. Being multilingual opens countless doors to the
future, and since we are an undoubtedly uncommon group of
individuals, we will take risks and show bravery to tackle new
challenges head on. ¡Vamos, amigos!
I am EXCITED to learn Spanish because….
I am NERVOUS to learn Spanish because…
“Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.”
How does this quote pertain to you in Spanish I?

Why Spanish? Why now?
While sources vary, many say that Spanish is currently the second-most-spoken language in the world with
over 380 million speakers. Studying Spanish and ultimately becoming fluent in a second language,
therefore, not only provides you the opportunity to engage in 380,000,000 conversations that were once out
of reach, but also gives you a unique and competitive edge over your monolingual counterparts.
Hispanic culture is full of diverse expressions of music, art, and literature. From dancing the tango or salsa
to admiring a modern painting by Salvador Dalí to diving deep into the mystical literary worlds of Gabriel
García Márquez, your studies will introduce you to an array of diverse Spanish-speaking cultures. You’ll
learn about various customs, traditions and value systems in Latin America and Spain, not to mention the
complicated and rich histories of each of these regions’ countries. From food and family to school and
sports, you’ll learn all about life. Spanish is, after all, a representation of people, not just a language.
The United States is home to more than 45 million Spanish speakers, and US Census projections indicate
that the Spanish-speaking population will continue to grow exponentially in the upcoming decades.
Whether on the radio, living across the hall or even in your own household, the Spanish language is
probably already part of your life in some way. Understanding Spanish allows you to sing along with the
music blaring on the street, chat with your own classmates and their families, and introduce yourself to that
friendly guy behind the counter at your favorite corner store. No matter who you are, Spanish can enrich
your life in some way.

Do you know what career you plan to pursue? Medicine, business, social work, teaching? What will you do
if you have a Spanish-speaking patient, client, or student? Many industries pay their bilingual employees
higher salaries, sometimes up to an additional $20,000 per year. In fact, if you were to put a few thousand
business executives together in a room, you won't find many with the same educational backgrounds,
industry experience or job descriptions, but about two-thirds of executives do have one thing in common.
Thirty-one percent of executives speak two languages. Employees who are bilingual in English and Spanish
are particularly in demand. Latinos are now the nation's largest minority group.

Between the World and Me
Ta-Nehisi Coates
Ta-Nehisi Coates is an American writer, journalist, and
educator. Coates is a senior editor and blogger for The
Atlantic, where he writes about cultural, social and
political issues, particularly in regard to AfricanAmericans. Coates grew up in Baltimore, Maryland.
“I remember sitting in my
seventh-grade French
class and not having any
idea why I was there. I did
not know any French
people, and nothing
around me suggested I
ever would. France was a
rock rotating in another
galaxy, around another
sun, in another sky that I
would never cross. Why
precisely, was I sitting in
Between the World and Me is written as a letter to the
author's teenaged son about the feelings, symbolism,
and realities associated with being black in the United
States.

“Seven years after I saw pictures
of those doors, I received my first
adult passport. I wished I had
come to it sooner. I wish, when I
was back in that French class,
that I had connected the
conjugations, verbs, and
gendered nouns to something
grander. I wish someone had told
me what that class really was – a
gate to some other blue world. I
wanted to see that world myself,
to see the doors behind them.”
“I was afraid. I didn’t really
speak the language. I did not
know the customs. But I realized
that those changes, with all
their agony, awkwardness, and
confusion, were the definining
fact of my life, and for the first
time I knew that I was really
alive.”
