COURSE DESCRIPTION: SPANISH LANGUAGE AND CULTURE I: A basic study of the Spanish language
through activities designed to develop listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Emphasis will be on oral proficiency.
Additional activities are intended to develop an appreciation of the Hispanic culture and an awareness of the geography of
the Hispanic world.
**RETRO-CREDIT** The Department of Modern Languages and Literatures has a retro-credits program designed to
reward students who have already spent years learning languages in high school. Students must sign up for the program in
428 Grubbs Hall with Kathy Dyer, Departmental Secretary, during the first three weeks of the semester in which they take
their first language course at PSU. That course determines their entry level and the maximum credits they can earn
through retro-credits. For more information on retro-credits visit our webpage at www.pittstate.edu/flang. Transfer
students who took language courses at another university or college are not eligible. No exceptions or extensions will be
granted. The Department encourages students to seek faculty advice to determine their best entry level.
IKE (Certificate of International Knowledge and Experience):
This course counts towards the academic component of the IKE Certificate of International Knowledge and
Experience. The IKE Certificate may be earned by students in any major. The academic component consists of
five courses - two semesters of a foreign language, and three courses with international content in three
different disciplines. To receive the certificate, students must also complete a second component, either by
studying abroad, or by participating in co-curricular activities on campus. Completion of the IKE certificate as
an undergraduate is noted on a student’s PSU undergraduate transcript, although graduate students may also
earn the certificate. For additional information, visit the IKE website:
http://www.pittstate.edu/department/ike/international-knowledge-and-experience/index.dot

Optional Resource:
Online Resources:
Stick with the Spanish you have learned and are learning in the text; you may also use additional vocabulary in papers
that you look up on online…but use a recommended dictionary such as www.spanishdict.com or
www.wordreference.com. Wordreference.com often provides discussion boards for expressions that may not be found
in the dictionary. Scroll down on the page to find entries for discussion boards. DO NOT use Google translate since
it only gives one-word translations when more than one word may be possible. Be sure to choose proper usage
examples and use words correctly.

GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS: This course counts toward the requirements in General Education for
your degree program. General education is the study of humans in the global setting. The general education curriculum,
therefore, acts as the heart of a university education by developing the capacities that typify the educated person and
providing a basis for life-long learning and intellectual, ethical, and aesthetic fulfillment. General education examines the
world around us and fosters an understanding of our interactions with the world and our place in the universe. General
education celebrates the creative capacities of humankind and helps to preserve and transmit to future generations the values,
knowledge, wisdom, and sense of history that are our common heritage.
GOALS OF GENERAL EDUCATION FOR THIS COURSE:
This course contributes to the overall purpose of the General Education program by:
1) providing the students with the basic knowledge and skills in a foreign language that will enable them to participate
more effectively in our global society. (Goal #1, 1.1, 1.2)
1)
stimulating critical thinking and encouraging decision-making free from prejudice or insularity (Goal # 2, 2.1, 2.4)
2)
promoting an appreciation of different cultures. (Goal # 4, 4.3)
However, the emphasis of this course will be to help the students meet the following objectives for the understanding and
appreciation of a variety of cultures and their interrelationships (Goal # 3, 3.1, 3.2)
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
3.1
Recognize the value of diverse cultural, national and ethnic backgrounds.
3.2
Demonstrate and understanding of the relationships of gender, race and class within and across cultures.
These objectives are met through a variety of means, including
1)
reading, analysis, and discussion of cultural information about the countries and regions where the target language
is spoken.
2)
discussion of authentic materials that show the diversity of the people who speak the language. Such authentic
materials include audio tapes, video tapes, pictures, music, and internet resources among others.
3)
the practice of situations that show the sociolinguistic appropriateness of language use in different communicative
instances.
4)
discussion of authentic materials that show the diversity of the people who speak the language. Such authentic
materials include audio tapes, video tapes, pictures, music, and internet resources among others.
5)
the practice of situations that show the sociolinguistic appropriateness of language use in different communicative
instances.
TEACHING STRATEGIES This is a face-to-face course. Attendance is mandatory. Class time will be spent in a variety
of activities: 1) doing one-on-one, small group, paired and whole class activities; 2) reviewing out-of-class assignments;
3) listening and answering questions over dialogues; 4) watching videos; and 5) role playing. Many activities out of the text
are conversational in nature. Activities will include both teacher guided and text guided as well as teacher created activities.
Activities typically move from the simpler to the more complex throughout the chapter and from chapter to chapter, building
on previously learned skills.
STUDY TACTICS See suggested ways to increase your chances of success in this course on the information page entitled
Study Tactics under “Files” and in the folder “Notebook” on the CANVAS course site. The learning of vocabulary is not
emphasized in class, rather the USE of and APPLICATION OF communication skills. This means you should study
vocabulary before coming to class. Therefore it is imperative that most of your vocabulary memorization take place outside
of class. Study the last page(s) of each chapter for vocabulary and use the online flashcards on the Premium Website for
pronunciation reinforcement. Always mimic pronunciation of flash cards and LAB activities. Read corrected Workbook
activities aloud after you correct them with the answer key (provided on CANVAS under the Files tab).

TESTING and HOMEWORK POLICY:
One homework assignment will be dropped for the semester.
Exams (mid-term and final) may be made up due to an emergency.
Homework due dates are announced. Late assignments are accepted with a 20% penalty. Workbook/Listening Lab
Homework is due on Chapter Quiz and MidTerm/Final Days. Homework will only be accepted for one week from the
due date. After that, the assignment will be given a zero. Therefore, stay current.
Flashcards: It is highly recommended that you use flash cards or the online flashcards for daily practice. The online
flashcards are recommended especially for students that struggle with accurate pronunciation.
BEFORE AND AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH CHAPTER: I often see many students searching dictionaries or the
text dictionary during practice time. This usually indicates to me that they didn’t study their vocabulary for the chapter.
Take the time to study the chapter vocabulary found at the end of each chapter intensely before and at the beginning of
each chapter so that you aren’t wasting time looking up words while you do homework. It will make your homework
time and conversation time in class (and out) more efficient and meaningful.
DURING EACH CHAPTER: The text vocabulary and grammar headings correspond to the vocabulary and grammar
headings in the workbook. Stay current by completing the corresponding vocab and grammar sections in the workbook as
we work through the text. I do not normally give daily homework assignments for the workbook. It is your responsibility
to stay current working through the Listening LAB (which starts on page 201 of the Workbook and corresponds to the
Audio Tab on the Premium Website). When using the answer key to check your work, mark through incorrect answers
and write the correct answer next to the incorrect one, then review the item aloud, giving your full attention to the
corrected answer. Make sure you know why your answer was incorrect. If you often don’t know why most of your
incorrect answers are wrong, you should probably get a tutor (provided for free by the department—just ask me and we
will sign you up). The Workbook and LAB are due (will be turned in) on quiz and exam days. Writing exercises
count 10 pts and fill in the blank count 5pts. Total missed in workbook and lab will be subtracted from 100, so
don’t skip any exercises! Skipping exercises costs a lot of points.
ABOUT STUDYING SPANISH: There are skill levels of language proficiency designated as the following: novicelow, novice-mid, novice-high, intermediate-low, intermediate-mid, intermediate-high, advanced-low, etcetera on up to
superior. The state of Kansas requires that teachers of Spanish speak at the advanced-low level to be teachers in Kansas. It
is also estimated that it takes about 200 hours for K-12/16 learners to proceed through each sub-level of language
proficiency. So, to proceed through the advanced low category, that would mean 1400 hours of study. A four year degree
contains less than half of that (32 college hours X 16 weeks + conversation partner time=512+ hours). Most of our
graduates test out for their senior interview at intermediate-mid to intermediate-high, so they are ahead of the K-12
learning curve, but not quite enough. Once in a while we do graduate students with advance-low skills. But these are
exceptional students who have usually studied abroad and studied very diligently. So, what can you as a language learner
to be exceptional and move toward advanced low? Study harder. Study regularly, with regular breaks, but at least an hour
a day outside of class. Read all assignments aloud. Study and practice in pairs or groups. Take advantage of the Premium
Website tutorials and activities. Sign up for tutors if you know you are a weak student. And participate in study abroad
4
for a full semester or two staying with a host family so as to have a real immersion experience. To make it to advancedlow you have to have exceptional study habits. Listen to Hispanic music…do some research on popular Latin musicians
and listen to their music, read articles from BBC Mundo frequently to add new words to your vocabulary. Watch internet
TV online from Spain: http://www.rtve.es/television/. This is too advanced for beginning students for now; however I
would strongly recommend trying a subscription to nulu.com for interesting articles that you select according to your
interests.Nulu.com has a mouse-over-to-English function to help you understand articles while you study Spanish.
There are opportunities for intermediate-high and advanced-low students. These are usually recent graduates with a
Spanish major who serve in Spain as a cultural ambassador in a program that pays you to teach English for a year. There
are also other English teaching programs in other Spanish-speaking countries. You just need to make the grade with your
Spanish to make it happen. I know many of you may not be considering a degree in Spanish. I wasn’t either when I took
my first course. Now here I am teaching Spanish. You just never know. Do well and you just might end up with a
double major in Spanish and something else. Explore your options and don’t burn any bridges. Good luck. Now visit
your CANVAS course, set up your notebook, explore the files tab, purchase your materials, and explore the files tab.
Don’t delay in getting your materials! Seems they are always short at the book store despite the order that was made.
Online purchases take a while but are always cheaper. Don’t forget to explore the Premium Website that comes with your
materials.
Place the following pages, the course calendar, in your notebook.

Instructor Responsibilities
Monitor, but don’t hover. Circulate among the groups.
Offer suggestions if needed.
Answer questions, but don’t be overly available.
Note grammatical and pronunciation errors for further
classroom work.
Call a time-out to correct a common error that will be repeated
a number of times in the activity.
Abandon the activity if it isn’t working. Failure could be due
to poor setup or not enough linguistic preparation.
Student Responsibilities
Work on task.
Work cooperatively.
Look only at your own information if appropriate: don’t peek at
your partner’s.
Enunciate and speak clearly.
Correct each other’s grammar when needed (this is important).
Speak only in Spanish; use gestures if needed to convey
meaning.* (Ask for permission to speak in English if only
English will do as a LAST resort.)
