COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is designed for students who have completed one year (or equivalent) and are relatively comfortable
expressing their personal needs and describing their immediate environment in Spanish. The main goal of the
course is to move the students toward fluency by means of significant vocabulary expansion and mastery of the
seven communicative functions (i.e. describing, comparing, reacting and recommending, narrating, discussing
likes and dislikes, creating hypotheses, and talking about the future). The course also focuses on the application
of the seven communicative functions to authentic social contexts and cultural situations. It emphasizes
development of speaking skills, although attention is devoted to listening, reading and writing as well.

Upon completion of the semester a successful student…
Will have acquired a more diverse and elaborate vocabulary pertaining to authentic
social contexts and cultural situations. S/he will have developed strategies for
inference of meaning and will have progressed from memorizing isolated words to
learning and using groups of thematically related words (i.e. word families) and
idiomatic expressions.
Will have acquired the structures necessary to form and use the seven
communicative functions (i.e. describing, comparing, reacting and recommending,
narrating, discussing likes and dislikes, creating hypotheses, and talking about the
future).
Will have developed sensitivity toward and appreciation of various aspects of
Spanish-speaking cultures (e.g. origins, immigration, etc.)
Will display more accuracy in his/her comprehension of basic speech and will
improve his/her ability to understand authentic materials (film, radio, etc.).
In addition to significantly improved pronunciation, s/he will be able to engage in
extended discourse and substantially elaborate a topic. His/her speech will be
relatively spontaneous and cohesive through the usage of transitions and connectors.
Will be able to read relatively complex texts from a variety of genres (literary,
journalistic, historical, etc.) by means of developing reading strategies such as
deciphering the words based on context, relating them to the words they know
(words families), and visualizing the content of the text.
With topics pertaining to social and cultural issues as the basis, s/he will be adept at
constructing cohesive paragraphs through the usage of transitions and connectors,
will know to identify the well-constructed structural elements of an essay (e.g.
introduction, thesis, argumentation and conclusion) and will be able to develop a
well structured essay with guidance.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Listening
Speaking
Reading
Writing
Students will demonstrate ability to understand simple sentence-length speech on
familiar topics. They can understand the main facts of short non-complex narrative
and descriptive speech using familiar vocabulary and structures.
Students will demonstrate ability to interact effectively in straightforward, concrete
conversational situations, for example, by responding to direct questions or requests
for information.
Students will demonstrate ability to understand short, non-complex texts that convey
basic information and deal with familiar topics. They can understand the main facts
of short narrative and descriptive texts using familiar vocabulary and structures.
Students will demonstrate ability to communicate simple facts and ideas in a series of
loosely connected sentences on familiar topics, primarily in present time, with some
references to other time frames.
METHODOLOGY
The course is comprised of two modules: Fundamentals (taught MWF) and Applications (taught TTh). The
Fundamentals module is designed with a focus on form in mind, whereas the Applications module is designed
primarily with a focus on content in mind. For more specific areas that will be covered in the two modules,

*Each individual instructor will determine the precise breakdown of this portion of your grade.
Daily Grade (Fundamentals & Applications):
This portion of your grade is made up of a combination of homework assignments; quizzes (announced &/or
pop); and preparation, participation & courtesy. Your instructors will provide you with specific information
regarding the breakdown of this portion of the grade for your section. Note that you receive a daily grade for
your Fundamentals section and a separate daily grade for your Applications section. Below are some details on
each of these subcategories:
(a) Participation, Preparation, Attendance, and Courtesy:
Participation means that the student will actively contribute to class and group discussions both by asking and by
answering questions. It also means that s/he will willingly engage in class activities and that s/he will use the
language of the course (used by both the instructor as well as the classmates), i.e. Spanish. Active, thoughtful
and informed participation is expected at each class meeting.
Preparation implies that the student will have read the reading assignment, written homework and completed
any other pertinent assignment in advance of the day it will be discussed in class. Students are expected to
devote at least 2 hours of studying and preparation before each class meeting.
Attendance refers to the expectation that all students will attend, arrive prepared and participate. Although no
grade will be given for physical attendance per se, all students are expected to attend class regularly in order to
fully benefit from this course. Three hours of absence (three class meetings) will be overlooked regardless of the
reason. Every additional hour of absence, both excused or unexcused, will result in a 2% reduction of the
student’s final grade. If more than 7 hours of class time are missed, the student will be administratively dropped
or assigned an F for the course. In addition, three tardies will count as one hour of absence. Finally, it is the
student's responsibility to keep track of his/her own absences to avoid failing the course. The student is also
responsible for obtaining any notes and/or assignments from the days that s/he was absent (regardless of
whether excused or unexcused).
Courtesy means being respectful of the classmates, the instructor and the learning process in general. Food,
cell phones and improper mannerisms (such as burping, indiscreetly yawning, sleeping, playing video games,
sending text messages, etc.) interfere with that principle as do tardies, early departures and regularly leaving and
re-entering the classroom while class is in session.
(b) Other homework assignments (Fundamentals & Applications):
This can include any additional daily work assigned by your instructors. An assignment is given for each class
day in the attached schedule in the column labeled “Assignments”. Your instructors may add to or modify the
assignments in the column by announcing it in class &/or posting it on Blackboard. If you are absent for any
reason, it is your responsibility to become informed of any changes in the assignment and to be fully prepared
for the following class. Absence does not excuse you from being prepared for class. Your instructors will
collect assignments at their discretion and count them toward your daily grade at their discretion.
PAGE
3
(c) Quizzes (Fundamentals & Applications):
Some grammar quizzes are built into the syllabus (see attached schedule). These quizzes will be approximately
10-20 minutes in length. In addition, your instructor may be give brief (5-minute) pop quizzes at their
discretion to gauge your preparation.
3) Exams:


Unit Exams (Fundamentals): There will be two unit exams over the course of the semester. Exam #1
will cover Chapter 1 and exam #2 will cover Chapter 2. These exams will focus on vocabulary and
grammar, as well as culture. They will contain material from the textbook and other assigned materials,
as well as from class discussions.
Final Exam: The final exam is cumulative (i.e. it covers all the material covered throughout the
semester in Chapters 1, 2 and 3.). It will test listening comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, reading
comprehension, writing and culture. The final exam will be administered as specified in the official
University examination schedule, and shall not be administered during the last week of classes or during
the Reading Period or any other time. The students are strongly advised to consult the final examination
schedule prior to making any travel arrangements. If the student makes travel arrangements prior to
determining the final exam schedule and has to miss the exam, s/he will receive the grade zero for that
work. The instructor does not have the obligation to accommodate cases like these.
Note: The use of anything but a pen, pencil and eraser is not allowed on any of the afore-described exams (this
includes but is not limited to cell phones, tablets, laptops, etc.)
4) Oral Interviews (Applications): There will be two graded oral interviews, each worth 5% of the final grade.
The first interview will be conducted in pairs and the student should be prepared to engage in negotiation of
meaning and conversation with the interview partner as well as the instructor. The second interview will be one
on one with the instructor and the student will initiate the conversation and suggest the topics by preparing
ahead of time the questions that reflect the seven communicative functions. During both oral interviews the
student has to demonstrate his/her speaking skills and knowledge of vocabulary, the ability to negotiate
meaning in Spanish and to integrate the seven communicative functions. The instructor will provide additional
information and guidelines during the course of the semester. The approximate duration of this activity is 5
minutes per pair.
5) Interactive Cultural Presentation (Applications): Each student will be assigned a topic pertaining to a
cultural aspect of the Spanish-speaking world. The student will be responsible for researching this topic and
presenting it to the class on the assigned day. Students must use some type of visual aids (music, photos,
posters, power point, etc.). The visuals can only contain names of people and places. The approximate duration
of this activity is a minimum of 5 minutes per student with additional 1-2 minutes of a brief question and
answer session to follow. The cultural presentation will be graded on the criteria including but not limited to
organization, audience involvement (the ability to attract the attention of the audience and engage with it),
content (synthesis, analysis) and expression (clarity, vocabulary, grammar).
6) Compositions (Applications): Over the course of the semester there will be three graded in-class
compositions. The composition topics will be assigned by the instructor and the student must make sure that
each composition includes topic appropriate grammar and new vocabulary as appropriate. Each composition
has to be coherent and well-articulated with transitions and connectors adequate for this level as well as
demonstrate that with guidance the student is able to construct an elaborate thesis and supporting paragraphs
(introduction, development, conclusion, etc.). For both compositions the student has to write the original (80%)
and the revised version (20%), as the final grade for a composition will be based on both elements. The revision
PAGE
4
must incorporate the instructor’s feedback and abide by the formatting requirements listed in the Miscellaneous
section.
7) Listening Comprehension (Applications): There will be two graded listening comprehension activities over
the course of the semester.

ATTENDANCE POLICY
Regular attendance and punctuality are mandatory in order to earn full marks. The final grade will take into consideration
preparation required for class (i.e. readings) and participation in class discussions. If you miss any meetings without an
excused absence from the on-site director, your final grade will be dropped accordingly. In the case of absences, it is the
student’s responsibility to find out what information was given in class including any announcements made.
UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Academic integrity is essential to a positive teaching and learning environment. All students enrolled in University courses
are expected to complete coursework responsibilities with fairness and honesty. Failure to do so by seeking unfair
advantage over others or misrepresenting someone else’s work as your own, can result in disciplinary action. The
University Student Conduct Code defines scholastic dishonesty as follows:
SCHOLASTIC DISHONESTY:
Scholastic dishonesty means plagiarizing; cheating on assignments or examinations; engaging in unauthorized
collaboration on academic work; taking, acquiring, or using test materials without faculty permission; submitting false or
incomplete records of academic achievement; acting alone or in cooperation with another to falsify records or to obtain
dishonestly grades, honors, awards, or professional endorsement; altering forging, or misusing a University academic
record; or fabricating or falsifying data, research procedures, or data analysis.
Within this course, a student responsible for scholastic dishonesty can be assigned a penalty up to and including an “F” or
“N” for the course. If you have any questions regarding the expectations for a specific assignment or exam, ask.
STUDENT CONDUCT
The University of Minnesota has specific policies concerning student conduct and student needs. This information can be
found on the Learning Abroad Center website.
