Permission numbers are required in order to register for this course. Students should bring their high school transcripts and an ID card to Folwell Hall 214 to obtain a permission number. Spanish 1001 takes a task-based, content-based, communicative approach to language learning and teaching. The course is taught mostly in Spanish. It focuses on the students? development of interpersonal speaking and listening skills, interpretive reading and listening skills, and presentational speaking and writing skills while working on an introduction to the cultures of the Spanish-speaking world. The textbook, "Gente, tercera edicion? is accompanied by MySpanishLab (an online ?workbook?) and two video programs: Gente en Accion and Vistas Culturales. Most of class time is spent working in pairs and small groups on a variety of activities. Since the majority of class time is devoted to speaking and listening in Spanish, class attendance is critical.
