I. OVERVIEW Spanish I is an introductory high school course offered to beginning students or students who have begun their studies in junior school, but need further practice before continuing. This course provides an introduction to the four basic communication skills of language learning: listening, speaking, reading and writing, with an emphasis on the first two skills. Basic grammatical structures and vocabulary are learned in the natural context of dialogues, short picture descriptions and readings. Spanish culture is presented in conjunction with the various lessons. The approach is multimedia. All objectives are practiced with the goal of communicative and cultural awareness. Students will communicate with spoken and written forms using interpretive, interpersonal and presentation modes. Students will demonstrate understanding of a culture via these same three modes. II. RATIONALE New Jersey citizens are part of a dynamic, interconnected, and technologically driven global society centered on the creation and communication of knowledge and ideas across geographical, cultural, and linguistic borders. Individuals who effectively communicate in more than one language, with an appropriate understanding of cultural contexts, are globally literate. The study of another language and culture enables individuals to communicate face-to-face and by virtual means in appropriate ways with people from diverse cultures. The study of another language fosters attitudes, values, and skills that indicate a positive disposition and understanding of cultural differences and that enhance cross-cultural communication. III. GOALS (Linked to NJ Core Content Standards) 7.1 World Languages: All students will be able to use a world language in addition to English to engage in meaningful conversation, to understand and interpret spoken and written language, and to present information, concepts, and ideas, while also gaining an understanding of the perspectives of other cultures. Through language study, they will make connections with other content areas, compare the language and culture studied with their own, and participate in home and global communities. Language learners can be expected to move through levels of proficiency at different rates. In addition, language learners may demonstrate differing proficiencies depending upon the communicative mode in which they are functioning (interpersonal, interpretive, or presentational). In Madison High School, students who are taking Spanish I should meet the cumulative progress indicators for the Novice -Mid Level of proficiency. Novice-Mid Level students communicate using memorized words and phrases to talk about familiar topics related to school, home, and the community. By the end of Spanish I, students will: A Interpretive Mode 1. Recognize familiar spoken or written words and phrases contained in culturally authentic materials using electronic information sources related to targeted themes. 2. Demonstrate comprehension of simple, oral and written directions, commands, and requests through appropriate physical response.

3. Recognize a few common gestures and cultural practices associated with the target culture(s). Identify familiar people, places, and objects based on simple oral and/or written descriptions. 4. Demonstrate comprehension of brief oral and written messages using age- and level-appropriate, culturally authentic materials on familiar topics. B. Interpersonal Mode 1. Use digital tools to exchange basic information at the word and memorized-phrase level related to self and targeted themes. 2. Give and follow simple oral and written directions, commands, and requests when participating in age-appropriate classroom and cultural activities. 3. Imitate appropriate gestures and intonation of the target culture(s)/language during greetings, leave-takings, and daily interactions. 4. Ask and respond to simple questions, make requests, and express preferences using memorized words and phrases. 5. Exchange information using words, phrases, and short sentences practiced in class on familiar topics or on topics studied in other content areas. C. Presentational Mode 1. Use basic information at the word and memorized-phrase level to create a multimedia-rich presentation on targeted themes to be shared virtually with a target language audience. 2. Imitate, recite, and/or dramatize simple poetry, rhymes, songs, and skits. 3. Copy/write words, phrases, or simple guided texts on familiar topics. 4. Present information from age- and level-appropriate, culturally authentic materials orally or in writing. 5..Name and label tangible cultural products and imitate cultural practices from the target culture(s). IV. ESSENTIAL CONTENT AND ACTIVITIES See attached. V. EVALUATION Listening, speaking, reading and writing in a variety of modes will be considered to determine the final grade. Assessments will include: Tests and quizzes that accompany the text Teacher-made achievement tests and quizzes Aural testing Oral testing in interpersonal and presentational modes Written evaluations in interpersonal and presentational modes Homework Projects VI.
