Summary The Basic Spanish course is a practical and experiential class in which students use their knowledge of situations to simulate real communications with other speakers of the language. It is aimed at engaging students in the communicative use of the four language skills (reading, writing, speaking, and listening) to a B2 level according to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) while becoming familiar with historical and cultural aspects of Latin America and Spain. Specifically the course seeks that the students understand and utilize functional content, lexical, gramatical, and socio-cultural knowledge frequently used anywhere in the Spanish-speaking world (current situations and normal daily life which does not require specialized use of language).

HOURS OF INDEPENDENT LEARNING: As part of their education, students are to spend at least four hours a week to strengthen the skills and knowledge they have acquired during class hours. To do so, students will enter the virtual classroom of the University with the username and password they have received during the first week of class. All activities are developed independently and will be evaluated and included in the category of ¨Permanent Evaluation¨. Some work will also be evaluated in

the midterm or final testing. ATTENDANCE: It is important to note that the first hour has a maximam tarde tolerance of ten minutes, after which the student will be considered absent. If the course has two continuous hours, there is no tolerance for the second hour. Attendence is counted until the last day of class. It is essential that students check their absences through INFOSIL in order to avoid last minute suprises. If there is any mistake in attendance, the professor has 72 hours (3 days) to rectify the matter. After this time, you can not make any changes to the attendance control. MAKE-UP TESTS: There is make-up testing within a week after the end of the class for those students who have a justifiable reason for not being able to take one of the four tests. To take advantage of the make-up test, follow the proper procedure within 48 hours of the missed test. There is not make-up testing for the Oral Final. MATERIALS: The student should bring to class what is mandatory for the development of their education. The student should bring their textbook and workbook to class everyday (photocopies are not accepted). Attending class wtihout study materials (including textbook and workbook) will lead to a reduced score in the evaluation of their Class Attitude. In summary, it is important to be clear about the following points: a. There is a tarde tolerance of 10 minutes to be conisdered present for the first hour of class. b. There is no tolerance for the start of the second class. c. The limit for course absences is 20%. If a student exceeds this rule, he or she will not be allowed to take the final exam. d. Student must carry all relavent course materials to each class including orginal textbook and workbook. Failure to do so will result in a reduced Class Attitude score.
