Course Description:
Spanish 1 (first-year Spanish, first semester) is a communicative beginning-level Spanish course offered via the Web. Students will begin to develop their Spanish proficiency through extensive interaction in the target language. Each unit begins with a video dramatization that introduces the functions, vocabulary, and grammar targeted in the unit.
Through videos, students see and hear native speakers in authentic locations around the Spanish-speaking world. Each unit includes numerous interactive activities, cultural notes, and cultural interviews. The activities help build competency in each of the four language skills--listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Students will be able to record and listen to their voices at any time as well as send audio files to their teacher for assessment.
The textbook ¡Ven conmigo!offers students an opportunity to practice and study the language away from the computer as well as a Spanish-English glossary of all the words used in the course. ¡Ven conmigo!will also be used by students in the Web-based Spanish 2 course (first-year Spanish, second semester).
