The goal of this class is for your student to increase in proficiency in the target language (Spanish) at the completion of this course. A Proficiency Oriented Language Instructional model will be incorporated to achieve this goal.

My vision for your student is for them to become a proficient learner who is able to communicate about a topic appropriately and accurately. The course objective for your student is to participate daily and weekly in oral and written activities by using various strategies to help them communicate about a topic appropriately and accurately.

The instructional rubric used to measure the objectives (oral and written activities, quizzes, tests, etc.) is categorized into four elements:  

LISTENING: listening to the teacher tell a story, listening to questions asked by the teacher, listening to the teacher describe a film;

READING: choral reading with the class, reading stories that have been told/asked in class, embedded reading, reading storyboards;

WRITING: filling in missing words in CLOZE passages, free writing, completing personalized sentence frames;

SPEAKING: responding to simple questions from the teacher (yes/no, either/or, etc.), re-telling class stories, reacting with rejoinders.

Rest assured that FUN is integrated in each lesson by way of puzzles, games, challenges, singing and so much more!

To measure the integration of each of these 4 elements during the week, homework will be assigned so that ideally the student is using one or two of the 4 elements daily.  Some assignments require the use of online sites such as: Señor Wooly, Quizlet, Quizizz and some specific videos on YouTube.

Drop Fees: No withdrawal fee if you withdraw in September.  Withdrawal fee for October and November is $160.  If you withdraw in December or later, the withdrawal fee is the balance of the year’s tuition.

Do not send any fees to Profe Hernández until you receive an email from her.
