Spanish 1

Spanish 1 introduces students to the rich cultures of the Spanish-speaking world while building a solid foundation in key vocabulary and grammar. This course is designed for beginners or those with minimal prior knowledge of Spanish. Using a communicative, task-based, and project-based approach, students work toward achieving a Novice High proficiency level, as outlined by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL). In addition to language skills, students develop cultural competence, learning to interact effectively with Spanish speakers. These abilities are reinforced through engaging assignments such as interactive PPT slides, hands-on tasks, unit-based projects, and class discussions.
