Level: Form III (7th–9th grades), Form IV (10th–12th grades)
Subject(s): Spanish
Description:
Using interactive and conversation-driven learning, this course will lay the foundation for learning to speak Spanish fluently. Students will engage in a variety of activities beneficial for both new and experienced students together in the same class. Through dynamic classroom interactions, students learn how the language works—how language components can be put together in different ways to understand, speak, read, and write in everyday life.
In order to gain mastery and grow toward fluency, students will be expected to complete some work outside of class each week such as listening to Spanish audio recordings, speaking practice, and completing assigned coursework. As an integral part of the learning process, students will be asked to record themselves speaking and to submit their recording to the teacher each week.
