FBISD Spanish 3
Course Description:
Students will progress toward an Intermediate-Low level of proficiency, as defined by the ACTFL standards, as they
are introduced to the Five Program Goals of the TEKS for Language Other Than English: Communication, Cultures,
Connections, Comparisons, and Communities. Students will be assessed regularly in the three modes of
communication: interpersonal (unscripted conversation in order to complete a task), interpretive (reading, listening,
viewing), and presentational (rehearsed and revised oral and written products). The focus of the course is authentic,
real-world communication, as students make connections and compare their own language and culture to the
communities of the Spanish-speaking world.
