General Information:
This course is a continuation of Spanish 101 and focuses on further developing communicative abilities in
speaking, reading, writing and comprehension of Spanish and on a continued exposure to the cultural
practices of the Spanish-speaking world. Themes on childhood, daily lives, travel, food, university life and
environmental issues will be covered. This course includes both oral and written assessments of
grammatical structure and vocabulary.
Required Text and Materials:
1) ¡Anda! CURSO ELEMENTAL (Volume 2) by Heining-Boynton and Cowell, Pearson Prentice Hall

Course Objectives:
The purpose of this course is to develop novice-mid proficiency in Spanish by expanding on the
knowledge acquired in Spanish 101. Students will develop and improve listening, reading, writing, and
speaking skills that follow a communicative student centered-approach. Throughout the semester,
students will exchange information and do activities that take on a communicative approach to learning.
Students will integrate grammatical and vocabulary knowledge in functional and communicative contexts.
In addition, students will be able to discuss and analyze cultural traditions and customs at the basic level by
being exposed to authentic materials. Overall, students will gain linguistic and cultural awareness useful to
manage basic real life situations.

CANNOT be made up. However, the lowest quiz grade will be dropped.
Student Activities Manual (SAM): You will be provided with a detailed list of the exercises to be
completed per week that you will do online at http://www.myspanishlab.com/.
My Spanish Lab at http://www.myspanishlab.com/ contains the Student Activities Manual and other
supplements. This learning management system is designed specifically for language learners. You can use
the Language Acquisition Resource Center (LARC) located in Storm Hall 2nd Floor, PC Lab: Room
204, Mac Lab: 205 to work on this material.
Homework/Other Assignments: Your instructor will assign activities to be prepared at home or inclass. These can be in written or oral form.
Writing Component: You will be expected to write two short in-class compositions throughout the
semester. Topics for these assignments will be made available to you by your instructor. Unless
accompanied by a doctor’s excuse, there are no make-ups for missed in-class writing assignments.
Oral component: This is a key component that will be worked upon from the very beginning of the
course. There will be one oral proficiency evaluation toward the end of the semester. Further details will
be provided by your instructor.
Exams: Spanish 102 covers "Preliminar B" (Preliminary chapter) through Chapter 12. There will be a
midterm exam (Preliminar B & Chapters 7, 8, and 9) and a final exam (comprehensive in nature). See
attached tentative class schedule for exam dates and material to be covered. Students will be allowed to
review the midterm and final exams after they have been graded, however exams must be
returned to the instructor, as they will be kept on file. Please note that make-up exams will be given
only with a doctor's excuse and after filing a petition form for a make-up exam.
In Class Participation Requirements: Remember that you must attend to participate. Attendance is a
key element in our language classes; if you are not present to participate in more than 3 classes of fifty
minutes without justification (or 1 and 1/2 classes of two hours) your final grade will be affected.
Coming late to class or leaving early disrupts the learning process for students and professor alike--every 3
occasions of arriving late to class or leaving early from class without prior notification to the instructor will
be entered on your record as an absence.
