It is our hope that as a result of their study, students will become globally aware, tolerant individuals who possess the ability to participate in and have a deep appreciation for our multicultural world.

Course Description and “Big Ideas” Students learn the basic concepts of Spanish using an aural-lingual-visual method to attain a level of communication competency and proficiency in each of the four language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Students examine and discuss a variety of topics related to Hispanic cultures.

“Essential Questions” Throughout this course and in the sequence of courses in this content area, students are consistently guided to consider the following essential questions: 1. Communication a. How do I develop communicative competence? b. What strategies do I need to communicate in linguistically and culturally appropriate ways? c. How does accuracy affect communication? 2. Cultures a. Why do people from different cultures sometimes say, write and do things differently from the way I do them? b. How is language a product of culture? c. How are cultural perspectives (attitudes, values and beliefs) reflected in a culture’s products and social practices? 3. Connections a. How does the content of the world languages classroom help me understand who I am and the world in which I live? b. How does stereotyping affect my understanding of other cultures? 4. Comparisons a. Why do people from different cultures sometimes say, write, and do things differently form the way I do them?

How do I know that my ability to communicate in real world situations is improving? b. How does content help me respond to important questions that extend my learning beyond the classroom?

The final course proficiency grade will be the average of the four marking period grades and the department prepared mid-year and final examinations aligned with NJCCCS/CPI and benchmarks for the content studied in the course. Marking period grades will be based on the average of unit grades and any special cross-unit projects. Unit assessments, delineated for each unit, will include such measures as: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Written and Performance Measures of proficiency objectives (coded to NJCCS/CPI’s) Records of oral participation in classroom discussions related to unit objectives Records of achievement of lesson objectives (i.e. quizzes, relevant homework) Oral assessments Course Evaluation

Course achievement will be evaluated as the percent of all pupils who achieve the minimum level of proficiency (final average grade) in the course. Student achievement levels above minimum proficiency will also be reported. Final grades, and where relevant mid-

7

term and final exams, will be analyzed by staff for the total cohort and for sub-groups of students to determine course areas requiring greater support or modification). Course evaluation requires the pursuit of answers to the following questions: 1. To what extent is the course content, instruction and assessments aligned with the required NJCCS? 2. Are content, instruction and assessments sufficient to demonstrate student mastery of the Standards/CPI’s? 3. Do all students achieve the set proficiencies/benchmarks set for the course, including CPI’s designated to be reinforced, introduced, and developed? In this course, the goal is that a minimum of 95% of the pupil’s will meet at least the minimum proficiency level (D or better) set for the course. The department will analyze the achievement of students on Unit Assessments, Mid-term and Final Exams and Final Course Grades, with specific attention to the achievement of sub-groups identified by the state to determine if modifications in the curriculum and instructional methods are needed.
