SPN 222 Spanish Composition and Conversation II

Summary of resource impact on the institution including equipment and staffing needs.

Resource impact #1: Retain the contact hours lost from the cancelled courses.

In Fall 2010, the cancellation of SPN 231 and SPN 132 essentially eliminated the sequential courses of language study. The college needs to offer a higher-level course for students fitting the following profiles:

• Many students who complete SPN 131 would like to continue language study. There are universities which require 2 semesters of language study.

• Some students complete elementary level, SPN 131 & SPN 132, and now seek intermediate levels, the 200-level courses.

• There are students who have several years of high school Spanish and should not take a beginner course. These students are often mis-placed and mis-advised into the beginner courses when an intermediate-level course better meets their needs.

Resource impact #2: Attract students who did not consider a 4-credit Spanish grammar course but who would consider a 3-credit conversation course.

Students who consider a higher-level conversation course may fit these profiles:

• Students who have several years of high school Spanish and should not take a beginner course. These students are often mis-placed and mis-advised into the beginner courses.

• Students who are already working in the community, especially in the health fields or in supervisory positions and who may have contact with Spanish-speaking people at these jobs. These students are interested more in communication skills and less in grammar and reading skills.

Resource impact #3: Require no additional equipment needs from the college.

Resource impact #4: Adjunct instructors in Spanish are qualified to teach this course as they are the SPN 231-232 courses. These instructors are currently teaching SPN 131- 132 or

SPN 111-112 and are already employed by JCC.

Resource impact #5: Area community colleges and universities offer a similar course for 3 credits. There is a potential for transfer if this course is approved.

Resource impact #6: This course, SPN 222, could run concurrently with SPN 221 and be cross listed. The classes would meet at the same time. Students in conversation classes benefit when higher and lower level learners are mixed. This increases the opportunities for interaction and language practice. This would also maximize enrollments for a course in a specialized area.

NOTE: This course ran as experimental with the number SPN 241

Catalog course description

SPN 222 is designed for the student with some prior background in Spanish, continuing the work begun in SPN 221. This course offers additional practice in spoken and written Spanish to improve fluency and flexibility of expression. Students develop greater proficiency in pronunciation, build vocabulary and gain greater control over idiomatic expressions. Requires SPN 131 or higher, or instructor permission.

SPN 221 is designed for the student with some prior background in Spanish. This course offers additional practice in spoken and written Spanish to improve fluency and flexibility of expression. Students develop greater proficiency in pronunciation, build vocabulary and gain greater control over idiomatic expressions. Requires SPN 131 or higher, or instructor permission.
