    Spanish 1 Curriculum Overview

    Spanish 1 is an entry-level high school course which is designed for students with no prior knowledge, as well as for those who are continuing from middle school Spanish and need or want reinforcement of foundational knowledge and communication skills.

     This introduction to the basics emphasizes practical use of the language while exploring the richness and variety of Hispanic cultures. The targeted proficiency level, as identified by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL), is Novice-mid. By the end of the academic year, students should be able to engage in conversation on familiar topics at an elementary level.

Thematic vocabulary units are daily routine, travel & adventures, celebrations & traditions and uses of technology. Major assignments include: written articles and short essays, cultural presentations, demonstration of conversational skills.
