Content is imparted through conversations, songs, readings, stories, and poetry, adapted to the level. Methods of Instruction: The method used is based on ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) and MCER (Marco común europeo de referencia para las lenguas: aprendizaje, enseñanza y evaluación). Homework assignments include exercises from the Costa Rican-authored novel Única Mirando al Mar, the CPI workbook (Tareas #3), or internet research, for instance, to prepare oral presentations. Lessons and activities may be conducted inside or outside the classroom, and can include interviews, dramatizing real or imaginary situations, and exploring language and culture through different media, such as newspapers, literature, cinema, music, and legends.
Each classroom period centers on a discussion theme, and lessons and activities derive from this. The course seeks to develop conversational language skills through focused tasks, lessons on the use of grammatical structures, exercises for reading and listening comprehension, a great deal of interaction and conversation, and activities that are engaging and interactive. The primary goal is help the student acquire communication skills that will permit the student to carry on spontaneous and fluid conversations with native Spanish speakers centered on topics and concepts of advanced complexity in diverse contexts.
