NCAA SPANISH I & II COURSE DESCRIPTION
Spanish I - Bienvenidos Glencoe Mcgraw-Hill 1997
A two-year course, Spanish 1and 2 introduce the student to the Hispanic world, its people and its culture, through the study of the Spanish language. Emphasis is placed on language development that integrates the skills of listening, speaking, writing and reading. Students will learn to give and respond to oral directions and commands, understand and use forms of address and courtesy, ask and answer simple questions, discuss their lives concerning interests, needs, and daily routines, and function in practical situation using the target language. To support this communication, students will study vocabulary, grammar and usage in both oral and written forms. In doing so, students will be able to read isolated words and phrases in a situational context, comprehend brief written direction and information, and read short narrative texts using the Spanish language.
The main goal and mission of Stevens Prep Academy is "to advocate success in all students". We achieve this goal by various means. The first thing we do is to accept each student at the time they need help, instead of telling them to waste time until the next semester or quarter.
The second thing we do is academic placement testing. We do this to find the strengths and weaknesses of every student versus throwing into an already on-going class as most other schools do.
The third and very important thing that we do is offer small class sizes with 1 on 1 assistance and instruction.
And the fourth thing we do is weekly evaluation of an educational program using the NC state curriculum guidelines but, conforming those guidelines to the level and pace of the student. When done properly, that spells student success.
