COURSE GOALS and EXPECTATIONS
Students in Level 1 Spanish are expected to reach a proficiency level of Novice-Mid to Novice-High by the end of the course. Here are some characteristics of the Novice-Mid to Novice-High learner:
Novice-Mid Students--
- express meaning in highly predictable contexts using memorized and recalled words/phrases.
- are best able to understand aural cognates (words that sound the same in two languages), borrowed words, high frequency, and highly contextualized words with repetition.
