Two world language credits are required for the Recommended Graduation plan.
It is recommended that students who plan to attend college take at least two
years of the same language.
SPANISH I
Two semesters, 1 credit
The goal of this level one course is to create a solid foundation in Spanish.
Using a variety of teaching methods and comprehensible input, students focus
on vocabulary acquisition, Spanish/English cognates, present tense verbs,
subject/verb agreement, and sentence syntax. An emphasis is placed on correct
pronunciation and oral practice with the goal of practical life application.
SPANISH II
This course begins with a comprehensive review of all material learned in
Spanish I. Students do intensive work on auditory skills, as well as using Spanish
as a tool for communication in real life situations. Students work toward the
improvement of their pronunciation and reading skills and mastery of all
present tenses and basic past tense. Correct phrase and sentence production
is emphasized. Students do basic translations of notable Hispanic authors and
explore other cultural texts, and their awareness of Hispanic culture and history
is expanded.

This course further builds upon the skills learned in Spanish II and III. More
advanced conversational skills are taught including the usage of idiomatic
expressions and verb tenses. Students continue to develop fluency. Students
further their knowledge of the Hispanic culture and are encouraged to use
Spanish outside of class as much as possible.
