78 | 2020 09-12 | 01341 | Spanish Language Arts 1 S1 | This course offers Spanish-speaking students an opportunity to study Spanish formally in an academic setting in the same way native English-speaking students study English language arts. The course allows students to reactivate the Spanish they have learned previously and develop it further, to learn more about their language and cultural heritage, to acquire Spanish literacy skills, to develop or augment Spanish academic language skills, to enhance career opportunities, or to fulfill a world language college admission requirement. For native speakers to maintain the language, a formal study of Spanish needs to occur with instructional goals focusing on grammar, reading and writing, vocabulary development, exposure to the language and culture and its communities, and consciousness-raising activities about Spanish language and identity. Many students are partially bilingual and range in their language skills. This course expands their bilingual range and moves learners beyond basic language development up to expressive and receptive language abilities and a broader command of the language. Heritage students will develop Spanish reading and writing skills. Reading selections will be from a variety of sources including works which are translated from familiar adaptations of English stories and children‘s literature. There is an emphasis in this course on the development of skills in the correct use of grammar, spelling, punctuation, and capitalization. | Yes | 5 | 28 - World Languages | 0600 | AE: Academic Elective | T: Traditional | ||||||||||||||||
