Details about this class
Welcome to Spanish 101! I look forward to working with you! This course has 2 required in-person meetings per week. We will spend much of our class periods practicing in pairs and small groups. We also make sure to incorporate lots of cultural learning activities, games, music, and fun!
Students are highly recommended to take SPA 101 and SPA 111C simultaneously.
SPA 111C is a one-credit conversation course that meets for 25 minutes twice a week. For this particular SPA 101 (CRN 20462), your recommended 111C is CRN 20779, on T/Th from 6:00-6:25. This conversation class meets right before your 101, and it’s taught by the same instructor.
Why should I take SPA 111C? The conversation class functions as the speaking laboratory where you will practice what you are learning in SPA 101. With your instructor’s guidance and support, you will work together with your classmates on listening and speaking skills. Communication is the main goal of our SPA program, and 101 + 111C is the perfect combination to develop your communicative skills.
Technology
Required technology for this course includes a computer with a reliable Internet connection, microphone, and webcam. If you have questions or concerns about the required technology, please contact your instructor. Platforms for this course include D2L Brightspace, and VHL Supersite (included in the textbook package sold through the PCC bookstore).
Please do NOT buy a USED textbook because it will not include the required code to the online platform, which costs more than the package available at the PCC bookstore. The same textbook/platform will be used in SPA 101-103, and no further purchase is required.
No show policy
Your instructor can mark you as a "no show" if you do not participate in your class during the first week. This will remove you from the class.
