SPANISH 2220: INTERMEDIATE SPANISH ISpring 2012

Welcome to Intermediate Spanish I! In this course you will continue to develop basic communicative skills in Spanish and use those skills to expand your knowledge of the cultures of the Spanish-speaking peoples of the world. SPN 2220 is an intermediate Spanish course designed for students who have completed SPN 1121 or 1124, or equivalent, with a grade of C- or higher, or who have earned a score of 37-45 on the Spanish Placement Test. The Placement Test may be taken at the Assessment Services Test Center in University Center, Building C, Suite 1200. Information regarding the placement test may be found at http://www.fsu.edu/~modlang/undergrad/placementtest.html. This course may not be taken concurrently with any SPN 1000-2000 level course and is closed to native or heritage speakers of Spanish. Students who do not comply with the aforementioned requisites risk being dropped by the Department of Modern Languages and Linguistics after the Drop/Add Period has ended.

Why study another language?Part of the purpose of a general education requirement in the College of Arts and Sciences is for students to challenge their own preconceived personal and cultural frameworks, as well as to further their intellectual development and personal growth. To this end, the study of a language beyond one’s native tongue pushes students to communicate through different sounds, words, and structures, and it provides an opportunity to gain deeper insight into the practices of one’s own and other cultures. Furthermore, empirical research in recent years suggests that language learning is related to improved cognitive abilities such as attentional control, memory, problem solving, and verbal and spatial abilities.

Why study Spanish?In addition to the academic, cognitive, and social benefits to learning another language, there are unique benefits to learning Spanish. For example, consider the following facts:

Spanish is the official language of 21 countries, and there are more than 400 million native speakers of Spanish, more than any other language in the world except for Mandarin Chinese.

Spanish has never been a “foreign language” in the United States. In fact, in the present day states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, and FLORIDA, Spanish was spoken for nearly a century before the first English speaking settlers arrived in Virginia and Massachusetts.

The United States has the second largest Spanish-speaking population in the world (after Mexico and ahead of Spain, Colombia, and Argentina).

Objectives & Goals: By the end of the semester you will be able to communicate in basic Spanish about a variety of topics, including your daily schedule and activities, university life, shopping, family, and food. In addition, you will be able to understand, summarize and express opinions about portions of a Spanish film, Sol y viento.

General InformationSPN 2220 is a hybrid course. This means that even though your class meets for three days per week, because this is a 4 credit hour course, you will do a large portion of work outside of class through Centro. The activities in Centro will help to prepare you for the in-class activities, which require one-on-one interaction among you, your classmates, and your instructor. Learning Spanish by means of a computer-enhanced course will provide the following advantages:

Self-pacing. You can take the time you need to do the on-line portion of the course as long as you complete the assignments before the deadlines.

Preparedness. Learning a language successfully requires consistent work and effort (not last minute cramming before an exam). Having to complete assignments in Centro on a regular basis will help you to keep up with the course material, to come to class better prepared, and will improve your chances of

Page 2: SPN2220-SP12(2)(1)

SPN 2220 Spring 2012 p. 2

success in learning Spanish. Although only your first attempt will count for a grade, you may re-do assignments for additional practice and to review for exams.

Immediate feedback. Centro grades your homework exercises instantly and tells you which items are wrong.

Easy access. You can do your homework from any computer that accesses the Internet through a reliable Internet browser such as Firefox, Explorer, or Google Chrome. First, you must create a user account. To do so, you will need the book keys (textbook and workbook) provided in the 2220 course pack purchased from the FSU bookstore ONLY. Digital editions of the textbook and/or workbook purchased elsewhere (including the Centro website) will not have the correct access codes. Also note that you must use your given name (as stated on your FSUID) and your FSU e-mail to set up a Centro account. If not, your grades will not register.

There are two different kinds of Centro homework: Textbook and Manual (Workbook). You will need to provide a book key for both (see below).

Creating an account. GO TO: www.mhcentro.com. CLICK ON “Create an account” and enter the following information:

o Username: can be your FSU username or one you createo Password: can be your FSU password or one you createo First Name: MUST be your given name as it appears on your FSUIDo Last Name: MUST be your last name as it appears on your FSUIDo E-Mail Address: MUST be your FSU emailo Country: United Stateso City: Tallahasseeo State: Floridao Zip: 32306o Time Zone: US/Eastern

BOOKSTORE. CLICK “Go”

Class Format: The format of this class is based on the premise that the best way to learn a foreign language is through repeated, meaningful exposure to the language as well as for opportunities to interact with others, even at the beginning levels. For this reason, class time will be dedicated to communicating in Spanish using the structures and vocabulary that you have practiced in Centro prior to class. The role of the instructor in the classroom is that of "communication facilitator". Your instructor will not provide extensive grammar or vocabulary instruction. This is the role of technology and your interaction with it. If you desire help with grammar and/or vocabulary, see your instructor during his/her office hours. However, please do not expect your instructor to repeat a class for you that you have missed nor answer questions about material in Centro that you have never covered yourself on-line. Do this work first and then see your instructor if you have doubts/questions.

Instructors follow the policy of no English in class for themselves. It is up to you to seek clarification and raise your hand if you don’t understand something. Within about one week, you should be familiar with the class format and daily expectations. Furthermore, you are expected to come prepared, to participate and to

Page 3: SPN2220-SP12(2)(1)

SPN 2220 Spring 2012 p. 3

contribute, and in the process are expected to be respectful of your peers and assist in the establishment and maintenance of a positive learning environment. Your instructor reserves the right to prohibit behaviors that she or he deems inappropriate (e.g., eating during class and so forth).

Inquiries: If you have questions or concerns about your class, direct them first to your instructor. If this is not possible, you may then make an appointment to see the Assistant Director of the Spanish Basic Language Program, Ms. A. Brandl ([email protected]). Any problems or questions that the Assistant Director cannot address will be referred to the Director, Dr. M. Leeser.

Required Course Materials1. If you have purchased the Sol y viento 2/e textbook key code within the last 12 months (i.e., in

another SPN course at FSU), you will only have to purchase the Sol y viento 2/e MANUAL key code for SPN 2220. If not, you will have to purchase the Sol y viento 2/e coursepack for 2220 (includes textbook and manual key codes). THESE MAY ONLY BE PURCHASED AT FSU BOOKSTORE.

2. Notebook.3. A current FSU email account.4. Computer head phones to do listening activities in FSU computer labs.

Course Components & Grading ScaleYou must earn a final grade of 70% (C-) in order to pass this course and continue on to the next level. Students taking this course for a grade of S/U must earn a minimum of 70% (C-) in order to receive a grade of S. Your final grade will be determined from the following components:

Participation 10%Centro Textbook 10%Centro Manual 10%¡Acción! Activities 9%Grammar Review Activities 1%Unit Exams (4) 30%Oral Exams (2) 15%Compositions (2) 15%TOTAL 100%

Grading ScaleA 94-100 B+ 87-89 C+ 77-79 D+ 67-69 F 0-59A- 90-93 B 84-86 C 74-76 D 64-66

B- 83-80 C- 70-73 D- 60-63

FSU has no policy on rounding-up grades. However, it is the policy of Spanish Basic Language Program to round-up student grades when the grade is .50% or higher (e.g., 89.50% or higher = A-; 89.49% or lower = B+). The final grade in Blackboard is considered the official grade. Any issues with your final grade must be first addressed to your instructor.

Participation and Attendance PolicyIn order to meet the course goals and objectives, you must attend and actively participate in class. Participation is an important component of your final grade, and each day your instructor will make a mark in his/her grade book regarding your participation and will assign you a daily grade.

You will be able to check your weekly participation grades in Blackboard. If you do not receive a grade, ask your instructor for one. If you do not agree with the participation grade, you should speak to your instructor immediately. Disputes over participation grades should not wait until the end of the semester since they are more difficult to document and handle then. Daily participation will be graded according to the following scale:

Page 4: SPN2220-SP12(2)(1)

SPN 2220 Spring 2012 p. 4

2 points Arrived on time, attended full class and participated in all activities using Spanish. Brought all required materials (including textbook) to class.

1 point Arrived less than 10 minutes late to class. Was not prepared, did not bring required materials, did not participate, and/or did not pay attention. Displayed behavior deemed inappropriate by instructor (including use of English).

0 points Unexcused absence. Arrived to class 10 minutes late or more (equivalent to an unexcused absence). Left early without instructor’s permission (equivalent to an unexcused absence).

Please note that your instructor reserves the right to: a. deny entrance to any student arriving to class 10 minutes late or more, andb. dismiss anyone from a given class whom the instructor deems as disruptive, and/or count them as

being absent for the day.

Excessive absenteeism will impact your participation grade and your final grade in the course. No participation points will be awarded for any unexcused absence. In addition, your final grade will be lowered by 2% with each unexcused absence after the first two unexcused absences. These two allotted absences are to account for sudden emergencies and/or personal undocumented events. Again, your final grade will be reduced by 2% for each unexcused absence beyond the 2 allotted absences.

The University Attendance Policy states that excused absences include documented illness, deaths in the family and other documented crises, call to active military duty or jury duty, religious holy days, and official University activities. These absences will be accommodated in a way that does not arbitrarily penalize students who have a valid excuse. Consideration will also be given to students whose dependent children experience serious illness. Documentation for excused absences must be provided to your instructor within a maximum of one week. Examples of acceptable documentation include: official note on FSU letterhead, program from funeral, etc. Medical excuses must be in writing on physician’s letterhead and must include the date(s) in the student could not attend class. Notes from Thagard Student Health Center (or another center) stating only that a student was present at the center does not constitute a documented illness. Furthermore, letters from parents or personal statements are not acceptable. For religious holy days, students should speak with their instructor prior to missing class. If the documentation is sufficient and verifiable, students will lose neither participation points nor 2% of their grade. Please note that late arrivals (more than 10 minutes late) and early departures count as unexcused absences.

Missed Exams / Missed AssignmentsIf a student misses a written exam, oral exam, in class composition, or (turns in late) a written homework assignment due to an excused absence, the student must make-up the missed work within one week from the date of the absence.

In order to receive credit for a missed exam or a late homework assignment, students must do the following:

1. Contact your instructor immediately to set a date make-up the exam /assignment.2. Download and print the “Missed Exam /Missed Assignment Form”, which is available in

Blackboard under the “Syllabus” link.3. Complete the “Missed Exam /Missed Assignment Form” and submit it to your instructor the day

you return to class along with copies of any pertinent documentation (see Attendance section).

Page 5: SPN2220-SP12(2)(1)

SPN 2220 Spring 2012 p. 5

Once a decision has been made, your instructor will return to you the completed form. A copy of the form will be kept on file. Students will not receive credit for any exam or assignment until a decision has been made. Again, the student must make-up the missed work within one week from the date of the absence .

Students who arrive late to an exam will only be given the remaining exam time to complete the exam. No listening comprehension sections will be repeated due to tardiness. If the tardiness is the result of an excusable and documented situation, the student must talk to the instructor immediately after the exam.

HomeworkThere are three types of homework in your Spanish class: textbook activities in Centro, manual (workbook) activities in Centro and ¡Acción! activities. Each will be described below.

Textbook Activities in Centro. This homework refers to the vocabulary and grammar sections in the textbook that correspond to the next day’s topic. For example, if you see “Lección 6B: Primera parte” listed on the syllabus for the next class day, you need to study the vocabulary and grammar in Lesson 6B (Primera parte) on pages 348-349; 352-353 and complete the corresponding Centro activities (i.e., Lección 6B, Primera parte) BEFORE going to class (www.mhcentro.com). Only your first attempt will count for a grade. However, you may re-take assessments for practice. Centro activities are automatically graded, thereby providing you with instant feedback. Your first attempt will Due dates for all Centro assignments are listed on the calendar. Note that the activities must be completed by 11:59 p.m. the night before the date listed.

Manual (Workbook) Activities in Centro. For each section in Sol y viento, you will be completing a number of homework activities related to that particular topic in Centro. The purpose of these activities is for you to gain further practice outside of class with vocabulary and grammar covered in class. As with the textbook activities, these exercises are automatically graded, and the due dates are listed on the calendar. Again, note that the activities must be completed by 11:59 p.m. the night before the date listed.

Instructions for Completing Centro Activities1. Go to www.mhcentro.com, login and select your class. 2. Select the tab marked “Textbook” or “Manual, Lecciones 6B-9B” (the online workbook) according

to the assignment.3. Select the appropriate “Lección” and “Parte” from the menu on the left. 4. Select and complete the activities (both the “Vocabulario” and the “Gramática” activities). Note

that by holding the cursor over the symbol in the left-hand corner of the activity screen, you can find out if the activity is assigned and when it is due. Be sure to submit your answers BEFORE 11:59pm the night before the date listed on the syllabus.

OR1. Go to www.mhcentro.com, login and select your class. 2. Click on “My Tools” in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. 3. Click on “Assignment List” and select the appropriate “Lección” and “Parte” from the menu on the

left. Then, select and complete the assigned activities (marked with an under the column labeled “Assigned?”) Be sure to submit your answers BEFORE 11:59 p.m. the night before the date listed on the syllabus.

You can do your Centro assignments from any computer that accesses the Internet through a reliable Internet browser such as Firefox, Explorer, or Google Chrome. Please note that if you are using a dial-up modem connection to FSU, your link to Centro may be slow. If you experience connectivity or any other type of problem with your own computer it is your responsibility to complete assignments by the established deadlines. If you experience problems, use a computer in

one of the FSU computer labs. Below is a list of computer labs on campus. You may consult the websites that accompany each lab in order to find out their hours of availability:

129 Diffenbaugh (http://www.modlang.fsu.edu/avlab/) *headphones available* Strozier Library Computer Lab and Strozier Library Media Center (both in basement)

(http://guides.lib.fsu.edu/multimedia) *audio files not accessible on 1st floor, only in basement*

315 Milton Carothers Hall (MCH) (http://its.fsu.edu/Computing/Computer-Labs/Carothers) 202 Oglesby Union (http://union.fsu.edu/sac/)

¡Acción! Activities. These activities usually involve writing sentences or a short paragraph, and can be found in Blackboard. (Note that these assignments are NOT completed in Centro. You MUST print them out in Blackboard.) You will turn in these assignments to your instructor on certain days, specified on the syllabus. All ¡Acción! activities are due at the beginning of class time on the dates indicated on the syllabus. No late homework will be accepted. If you plan to be absent on the day homework is due, turn it in before the due date. Remember that you are responsible for turning in homework whether you attend class or not. Should an emergency situation (e.g., accident, sudden illness, etc.) occur on your way to class on the day homework is due, you must provide written proof if you want to request credit for that particular homework assignment. You must turn in your homework the first day you return to class. For each homework set that you turn in, the instructor will choose two of the activities to grade for a maximum of 5 points per homework set. Although your instructor will grade only two activities, failure to complete all ¡Acción! activities for the lesson will result in a score of “0” for that set. Please note that the use of translator programs, help from tutors or anyone else on graded assignments constitutes academic dishonesty (see the Academic Honor Code & Honors Statement in this syllabus for further details). Homework will be graded in the following way:

5 pts All assigned activities completed. No or very few and minor errors related to the focus of the activities.

4 pts All assigned activities completed. Some errors related to the focus of the activities.3 pts All assigned activities completed. Less than 50% errors related to the focus of the activities.1 pt More than 50% errors related to the focus of the activities.0 Assigned activities not completed, turned in late, or not student’s work (see Academic Honor

Code & Honors Statement in this syllabus).

Centro activities are classified as “graded activities” and “credit/no credit activities”. In order to receive full credit for the “credit/no credit activities”, students need to demonstrate reasonable effort in the completion of all items. Entering random words or letters and submitting the activity incomplete in order to receive credit is not considered reasonable effort. In those cases, the instructor will change the grade for that activity to 0.

ExamsThere are four unit exams that correspond with the textbook. They are announced on the syllabus and will be held in the room and class period in which class is held (except for the final exam). No deviation of this schedule will be allowed. This means NO early or late exams, even if the same instructor teaches the class. If you cannot take an announced exam due to a documented emergency, written proof of the circumstances must be presented to your instructor no later than one week after you return to class. See the “Missed Exam /Missed Assignment” section for details.

Page 7: SPN2220-SP12(2)(1)

SPN 2220 Spring 2012 p. 7

Oral ExamsThere are two oral exams, which take place during regular class time. The oral exams consist of a short interview with your instructor or a 7-8 minute conversation between you and a partner. In some cases there will be 3 people in a group. These interactions will based on situations and themes covered in class and will be graded according to the assessment criteria listed in this syllabus. The dates are listed on the calendar. Although your instructor will not inform you of the exact topics/questions for the oral exams, all of them are similar to/based on the communicative activities you do in class.

Extra CreditThere are NO opportunities for extra credit in this course. The best way to improve your grade is to complete all assignments on time, actively participate in class, and to ask for assistance from your instructor during his or her office hours.

E-mailing Your InstructorPlease use your FSU account when e-mailing your instructor. If you use a personal e-mail account (e.g., hotmail, yahoo, g-mail, etc.) your instructor will not know whether the message is junk mail, and therefore, will not respond. FSU e-mail is considered by the university to be official communication, and you should therefore address your instructor appropriately (e.g., Dear Ms., Mr., Sr., etc.), sign your name, and use a respectful tone. Instructors will not respond to e-mails that do not address them directly, and/or are not signed.

Cell Phones and Electronic DevicesThe use of cell phones and electronic devices is prohibited in class. All cell phones should be turned off before the start of class (not set on “vibrate”, but turned OFF). If you have a medical or family emergency and need to receive a call during class, you should inform your instructor before class. Students who habitually use cell phones and electronic devices in class may be dismissed from class and counted as being absent for the day. In order that the University may notify students of a campus-wide emergency, either the instructor’s, or a designated student’s cell phone will be set to vibrate during class.

Americans with Disabilities ActStudents with disabilities needing academic accommodations should: 1) Register with and provide documentation to the Student Disability Resource Center (SDRC) at 97 Woodward Avenue, South (644-9566), and 2) Bring a letter to your instructor from the SDRC indicating that you need academic accommodations no later than the second week of classes.

Academic Honor Code & Honors Statement The Florida State University Academic Honor Policy outlines the University’s expectations for the integrity of students’ academic work, the procedures for resolving alleged violations of those expectations, and the rights and responsibilities of students and faculty members throughout the process. Students are responsible for reading the Academic Honor Policy and for living up to the FSU Academic Honor Pledge:

I affirm my commitment to the concept of responsible freedom. I will be honest and truthful and will strive for personal and institutional integrity at Florida State University. I will abide by the Academic Honor Policy at all times. (http://dof.fsu.edu/forms/honorpolicy.pdf)

All assignments that you turn in for a grade MUST be your own work. Multiple submissions and group work are not permitted unless under express authorization by the instructor. Cheating (including the use of translation programs) and plagiarism will not be tolerated. If you are caught cheating or plagiarizing in any form you will be reported to the Dean of Faculties for appropriate disciplinary action.

By remaining enrolled in this course past the end of Drop /Add, you are agreeing to:

uphold The Academic Honor System of Florida State University, and

accept accountability for the course requirements, the course expectations, and the attendance policy stated in this document.
