The main objective in Spanish III is to develop, reinforce, and refine the communicative skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing in the target language. Cultural competency will also be developed and explored throughout the year. Spanish III is the 4th consecutive year of language learning here at WAJ, and the last of a 3 year sequence for the advanced regents diploma.
Goals: Communication AND Cultural Competency
● Learn new vocabulary ● Build familiarity with grammar ● Gain confidence speaking Spanish
● Communicate in Spanish in real life situations ● Interpret written & spoken Spanish
● Understand & Compare the products, practices, and perspectives of cultures other than our own
We listen with the intent to understand.
We support the flow of conversation (in Spanish).
We do our 50% and give our best effort.
We show respect. When one person is speaking, the rest of us listen.
If we don’t understand, we let the teacher know politely.
Participate!
Translators are NOT allowed, and tend to lead to more errors than clear communication. They also do not help you LEARN the language. On the other hand, dictionaries, online or hard copy, are a great tool to help you expand your communication skills!
