Syllabus Spanish I
Syllabus Spanish III
Instructor Carrie Toth
Carlyle High School
Course Description:
This course is the third level of Spanish study and is designed to deepen students understanding of both the Spanish language and culture. Using the Illinois Foreign Language Standards of Communication (written or spoken), Culture (the how, what and why of the new culture and your own), Connections (between other subjects and Spanish), Comparisons (of the Spanish language and culture and your own) and Community (extending use of Spanish beyond the classroom) the aim of this class is to introduce students to the four elements of language study: listening, speaking, reading, and writing studying relevant, real-world theme based units. There is a high expectation outside of the classroom in this level of the language.
Instructional Philosophy:
Many instructional approaches will be used to help all types of learners: Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling (TPRS), questioning strategies (yes/no, either/on, multiple choice, short answer), Total Physical Response (TPR), reading authentic documents, listening to authentic music, visiting authentic websites and studying authentic films to name a few. Students will be actively engaged and will be expected to participate voluntarily and/or when called upon. Participation does not mean always giving the correct answer but a willingness to try to use Spanish and a genuine attempt at learning the material or asking questions when the material is unclear. The class will be conducted in Spanish and students are expected to communicate in Spanish as well.
