Introduction - Foreign Language
Beginning courses in Spanish and French provide students with vocabulary, basic grammar, and experience in conversational settings. Intermediate courses offer students opportunities to learn advanced grammar, to develop speaking, listening and writing skills, and to appreciate the culture and history of the peoples whose languages are studied. Students enjoy multi-media, hands-on, and computer-assisted learning activities in their foreign language classes.
Español
Los estudiantes de los primeros cursos de español practican el vocabulario y la gramática básica en situaciones informales. Los cursos del segundo ano de la lengua les ofrecen a los estudiantes la oportunidad de aprender la gramática avanzada y desarrollar sus habilidades de hablar, escuchar, y escribir la lengua y de apreciar la cultura e historia de los países hispanohablantes. El aprendizaje viene aumentado por el uso de computadoras y materiales multimedia en la clase.
Français
Les cours d'initiation à la langue française mettent à la disposition des étudiants une base de vocabulaire et de grammaire dans un cadre conversationnel. Les cours intermédiaires leur offrent l'occasion d'approfondir leur connaissance de la grammaire, de développer l'expression orale, la compréhension de la langue parlée, et l'écriture, ainsi que l'appréciation de la culture et de l'histoire du monde francophone. Parmi les activités pédagogiques dans les classes on peut utiliser des ordinateurs pourvus de programmes multimédias.
Teaching Goals
Fluency
We focus on helping students become fluent in the vocabulary they need to express themselves, use information to expand their horizons, and become confident about their speaking, listening, reading and writing skills.
Cultural Perspective
When learning a foreign language it is equally important to understand the differences and similarities in social norms, etiquette, and cultural attitudes that may impact us in our daily interactions.
