Language and communication are at the heart of the human experience. As the world becomes increasingly interdependent, it is important for every person to acquire the skills necessary for effective communication and cross-cultural understanding. A Texas Framework for Languages Other Than English presents a curriculum framework for learning and teaching languages aimed at helping all students reach high and challenging standards. The following are the five program goals upon which TEKS for LOTE are based:

Goal 1: Communication

Students develop communicative abilities in the three modes: interpersonal, interpretative, and presentational, integrating the skills of listening, speaking, reading, writing, viewing, and showing.

Goal 2: Cultures

Students learn about and experience other cultures

Goal 3: Connections

Students use language to acquire new information and knowledge in other subject areas.

Goal 4: Comparisons

Students learn the nature of language and culture by comparing other languages and cultures with their own.

Goal 5: Communities

Students use language to participate in communities both at home and around the world.

The Spanish II Diagnostic Exam

It is most important that parents/guardians understand that we administer a diagnostic exam for students in the first week of instruction. This is to help us, as professionals better understand what it is your student retained from Spanish I. If your student did not earn credit from DeBakey HSHP for Spanish I this diagnostic allows us to comprehend your student’s potential needs with regards to review materials.

DeBakey is a rigorous institution and when having graduated from DeBakey HSHP we know that all students can achieve excellence on a competitive national and even global sphere. We are committed to your student/s having a working knowledge of the language therefore, we feel a diagnostic will assist students and parents in comprehending where students need to improve in the review period of DeBakey instruction prior to the acquisition of new curriculum.

Evaluation: Determining your students’s proficiency.

Evaluation is conducted by using varied methods and techniques that reveal what the student has attained and to what degree he or she can successfully implement key concepts and ideas.  Methods include standardized testing, written response testing (both open and closed response) projects and research both independent and collaborative.  Grades are proportioned as follows.

|Daily Class Assignments: Inclusive of Cultural Openers, Grammatical|25% |
