COURSE DESCRIPTION AND LEARNING OUTCOMES
SPAN 110 is a six-credit semester program for beginning students of Spanish, and it starts the basic language requirements for most
majors in CHSS and COS. This course is designed around the national standards of foreign language education: communication,
cultures, connections, comparisons, and communities. We address those standards through a variety of listening, speaking, reading
and writing activities in class and online. We put into practice The FLIPPED-CLASSROOM approach, a pedagogical model in
which the typical lecture and homework elements of a course are reversed. In this course, students will:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Synthesize the acquired vocabulary and sentence structures to broaden oral and written comprehension;
Strengthen their ability to express ideas orally and in writing with an appropriate level of grammatical accuracy and fluency
focusing on both presentational and interpersonal modes of communication;
Demonstrate a certain level of knowledge and critical understanding of the products, practices and perspectives of the
Spanish-speaking world;
Develop a greater appreciation for and interest in Hispanic culture and language;
Start to understand speech produced by native speakers;
Increase their ability to use educational online tools.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS
1. ATTENDANCE & PARTICIPATION: 20%
Classes will be conducted mostly in Spanish, and active participation is a major requirement. The participation grade is not earned by
just coming to class. Students need to participate and demonstrate they are fully prepared and have completed all assignments for
the class. Furthermore, students must volunteer to participate and not expect to be called on by the instructor. Students absent on
any given day will receive a zero grade for participation for that day. It is the student’s responsibility to find out about assignments
from a classmate. Therefore, exchanging email addresses with at least two classmates during the first week of class is highly
recommended.
Participation will be recorded daily, and an average will be entered on the Blackboard gradebook every two or three weeks, with a
total of four grades spread out throughout the semester.
Students will frequently be asked to work in pairs or small groups, and are expected to make every attempt to communicate in
Spanish. Classwork will include activities such as role play, oral and written questions and answers, small group/pair work,
discussions, and activities from the textbook.
2. HOMEWORK (ONLINE SUPERSITE ASSIGNMENTS): 10%
The online component that accompanies Aventuras is one of the most important aspects of this class, and it needs to be completed
at home on the Supersite platform. In order to access this platform, students need to purchase the online code that comes with the
corresponding textbook. Some of the activities, for example, “Presentations and Tutorials”, have the purpose of introducing new
concepts. Other activities will assess understanding of such concepts. Two attempts are allowed on these activities unless they are
“True/ False” or other two-option type activities. It is very important for the students to manage their time wisely in order to take
full advantage of the Supersite. Although the deadline might be set at the end of each lesson, students should follow the syllabus
regarding when to complete what. Otherwise, they might have to complete an 8-10 hour assignment at a sitting, which is not in the
least advisable. Late homework will be penalized with a deduction of the 10% per day. PLEASE, do not request to have your
Supersite homework graded once the semester is finished. This will not be allowed. Bear in mind that the main purpose of the
Supersite activities is for the students to be prepared to participate in class by using what they have studied at home; this is the
essence of the “FLIPPED CLASSROOM” methodology that is implemented in this course. Therefore, students are strongly
encouraged to complete the activities before the instructor presents the topics in class. Most Supersite activities are assigned so that
the students have two weeks to prepare the whole lesson (between 8 and 10 hours of homework). However, in a few cases, there is
only a week to do so. The key is to plan ahead! Some of the activities contain a listening comprehension component, and, therefore,
audio should be allowed on your computer. There is no need of a microphone to work on any of the activities as oral communication
will be emphasized in class. In spite of being labor-intensive, the Supersite activities are very dynamic and varied, and we hope
students will enjoy the autonomous learning experience they provide. Note that no homework is to be completed on the textbook.
Consequently, the Supersite is the main source of homework apart from studying for in-class compositions, quizzes, exams and oral
presentations.
3. COMPOSITIONS: 15%
There will be three in-class compositions focusing on the vocabulary and grammar-structures discussed in class. Your instructor will
assign the topic on the same day of the composition, and it will include the material discussed in class up to that day. As the in-class
composition is meant to assess what you have learned, the use of the textbook or dictionaries is not allowed. This course
emphasizes the importance of the writing process and, therefore, composition writing involves two steps: 1. In-class first draft
(70%), 2. Typed final draft (30%). Both drafts should be submitted (stapled) when the final draft is due. A grading rubric is available
at http://spanish.gmu.edu/basic-spanish-program/rubrics-guidelines
Presentation of final drafts:
All graded assignments must be typed according to the following guidelines:
 Include as a header on the first page: name, course number, the date and a title in Spanish.
 Use font Times New Roman 12 pt. and one-inch margins all around.
 One and a half-space the text and use standard 8 ½ by 11 paper and legible black ink.
 Write the number of words at the end of your composition.
 Do not submit a paper without accents. While typing your work, if you have a PC you can use:
á = alt + 160
ü = alt + 129
é = alt + 130
ñ = alt + 164
í = alt + 161

Page 4
¡ = alt + 173
ó = alt + 162
¿ = alt + 168
ú = alt + 163
Mac Users: Hold down the Option key, and while holding it down, type the letter e; then release those keys and type the
Letter that you want the accent to appear on:
á = Opt + e, then a
é = Opt + e, then e
í = Opt + e, then I
ó = Opt + e, then o
ú = Opt + e, then u
ñ = Opt + n, then n
ü = Opt + u, then u
¡ = Opt + 1
¿ = Opt + shift + ?
4. QUIZZES: 10%
There will be a short (10 or 15 min.) quiz after lessons 1, 3, 5 and 7. The quizzes are meant to consolidate the understanding of the
main points in those lessons before the exams. There might be additional quizzes (announced or unannounced) created by the
instructor depending on the needs of each class.
5. CHAPTER EXAMS: 20%
There will be three chapter-exams. The dates are included in the calendar below. The exams cannot be made up for unless they are
missed due to an emergency, in which case you need to provide documentation to be allowed to take the exam on a different date.
6. ORAL PRESENTATIONS: 10%
Students’ speaking skills will be formally assessed by means of two role-plays involving 3-4 participants per group. On the specified
date (see calendar), students will submit the names of the group participants and the chosen topic. The instructor will provide a list
of possible topics to be considered; students can contribute ideas as well. In all cases, the oral-performance assessment should
reflect class discussions and grammar/vocab. items studied so far. Students are encouraged to rehearse out of class. However, no
notes will be allowed during these assignments as they are meant to be as spontaneous as possible as opposed to a memorized
speech by each student. The first role-play will be on the spot whereas the option to video-tape the second role-play will be made
available to those interested. The evaluation is specified on this rubric http://spanish.gmu.edu/basic-spanish-program/rubricsguidelines
7. FINAL EXAM: 15%
The final exam will assess all the grammar sections covered throughout the semester, and the vocabulary and culture topics dealt
with in the last few chapters. There is a specific date for the final exam (see the schedule below). Therefore, plan beforehand. In
case of an emergency, the student who has not taken the final exam will receive an Incomplete in the class, and both the instructor
and the language coordinator need to be notified. If the instructor has not been notified of the emergency, the grade will be a zero.

MAKE-UPS
No make-ups are allowed for exams, quizzes, oral examinations, in-class compositions, oral presentations, or any other graded
assignment in this course. In the event of a medical emergency or other extreme situation, each case will be discussed on an
individual basis. In such a case, you must notify your instructor in advance by electronic mail, or by calling the Department of
Modern and Classical Languages (703) 993-1220. NOTE that oversleeping, travel plans, parking trouble and similar situations are not
valid emergency cases. Therefore, please make sure to plan ahead.
CLASSROOM ETIQUETTE
The main focus of Span 110 is interpersonal face-to-face interaction in Spanish. Therefore, the use of cell phones or any other
electronic devices will not be allowed. Classes may not be recorded (audio or video) without the instructor’s consent. Learning a
language requires rigorous discipline; for that reason, punctuality is a requirement in this course, and your grade will be penalized if
you arrive late or leave early without prior instructor’s consent.
GMU HONOR CODE
Upon applying for admission, all Mason students sign a commitment to uphold the Honor code, and to “pledge not to cheat,
plagiarize, steal, or lie in matters related to academic work.” All students are responsible for understanding the Honor Code, as well
as for reporting any violations. For more information on the Honor Code and its requirements, the Academic Integrity Website:
http://oai.gmu.edu
Plagiarism, or the use of someone else’s words, ideas, sequence of ideas, or other intellectual or creative work without proper
acknowledgement, constitutes an Honor code violation. All students are strongly encouraged to read the Writing Center’s online
guide for avoiding plagiarism: http://writingcenter.gmu.edu/?p=499. In this course, you are NOT allowed to have a native speaker or
a more advanced student correct your homework or compositions.
If you have any doubts about the types of assistance that you are permitted to receive from others, ask your professor. Students
who violate the Honor Code in this course will be reported to the Mason’s Honor Committee: (http://oai.gmu.edu) and should
expect to receive an “F” in the course.
George Mason University is committed to providing equal opportunity and an educational and work environment free from any
discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, or age. Mutual
respect and civility of others will be considered an essential component of students’ participation in this class.
