This Spanish course stresses the expansion of effective listening comprehension and speaking skills through culturally and linguistically appropriate activities. V. STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES This course will contribute to the attainment of the following general (GSLO) and specific (SSLO) student learning outcomes of the B.A. in Modern Language & Culture (ML&C): GSLO ML&C 1: LANGUAGE, LINGUISTICS, & COMPARISONS Learners are proficient in using the target language, are familiar with the target language system, and seek opportunities to further develop their skills and knowledge. (Knowledge, Skills, Attitudes) SSLO ML&C 1a: Demonstrating Language Proficiency. Learners demonstrate a high level of proficiency in the target language, and they seek opportunities to strengthen their proficiency. (Knowledge, Skills, Attitudes) To address this outcome, learners will improve their speaking skills by participating in ongoing in-class discussions about pertinent topics dealing with societal issues in Spanish-speaking countries. Upon completion of the major in Modern Language & Culture, learners are expected to have achieved an Advanced-Low level on the ACTFL scale. Assessment:  interviews that students will record and analyze  participation in classroom discussions  presentation To address this outcome, learners will improve their listening skills by participating in different activities during the semester where they will be required to understand different modalities of speech (a phone message, a news report, a conversation, presentations by peers, movie dialogues, input from instructor) Assessment:  structured listening activities  interviews To address this outcome, learners will improve their writing skills by participating in an online discussion of the films in which they will express their opinions and respond to entries from their peers. Assessment:  discussion board or blog entries SSLO ML&C 1.b.: Understanding Linguistics. Learners know the linguistic elements of the target-language system, recognize the changing nature of language, and accommodate for gaps in their own knowledge of the target-language system by learning on their own. (Knowledge, Skills, Attitudes) To address this outcome, learners will review structures needed for certain speech functions such as describing, narrating, and influencing others. Students will also engage in a variety of thought-provoking reading selections organized around four thematic units. Each unit includes a vocabulary section, highly used Spanish words, false cognates, and creates situations to use those words in paired, small and big group discussions, where students are expected to participate and develop understanding of the structure of Spanish.

Incidents of alleged academic misconduct will be handled through the established procedures of the University Judiciary Program, which includes either an "informal" resolution by a faculty member, resulting in a grade adjustment, or a formal hearing procedure, which may subject a student to the Code of Conduct's minimum one semester suspension requirement. DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR: It is the purpose of the institution to provide a campus environment, which encourages academic accomplishment, personal growth, and a spirit of understanding and cooperation. An important part of maintaining such an environment is the commitment to protect the health and safety of every member of the campus community.
