Note: If you are interested in taking a Spanish Language Placement Test, please inform Dr. Carlos J. Cano, FORSPRO’S Academic Dean, at cjcano42@hotmail.com. Assignments: This course is divided into three segments of two chapters each. Each chapter includes interactive vocabulary exercises, one or two reading selections, content exercises, discussion questions, communicative strategies, pair/group activities, and creative writing activities. Students will be responsible for the pre-reading activities and the reading selection prior to class; setting the stage for an animated exchange of ideas during our group meetings. Textbook exercises are to be completed according to the schedule below. Other assignments may be announced during class; for example, additional reading materials (poems, essays or newspaper articles). Reading selections can be challenging, the following reading strategies are suggested: 1. Read the assigned material quickly, using only the vocabulary aids (if any) available in your book. Try to get the general idea of what you are reading. 2. Read the material again and look up words in a dictionary only when essential to make sense of the story. Remember to keep trying to make sense of what you are reading, using any clues you can find to guess at the meaning of each sentence and paragraph. 3. Reread the material until you can recount, in Spanish, in your own words, the main events of the assignment. Writing Practice: Accuracy in written communication will be evaluated on the basis of six short composition assignments. Topics appear at the end of each chapter. Students are encouraged to do peer editing before submitting their compositions. Peer editing in the writing of short compositions will give you the opportunity to see writing from two perspectives: the writer’s as well as the reader’s. By setting aside some time outside class for this specific step in the writing process, you will be able to hone your analytical skills while receiving help from classmates. In addition, this process can be repeated with different partners in order to get more than one point of view and set of suggestions. Refer to the weekly schedule of classes for due dates. Unless there are extreme circumstances, compositions will not be accepted after the due date. Preparation/Participation: In a language course, participation is extremely important. Students are expected to attend all classes prepared to ask/answer questions on the reading assignments and participate in all class discussions. Class preparation/participation grades assigned as follows: - A (90’s) – Participates actively in class and small group discussions; prepares homework well; often volunteers answers and speaks with few mistakes. - B (80’s) – Participates actively in class and small group discussions; usually prepares homework well; sometimes volunteers; makes some mistakes with more advanced grammar concepts. - C (70’s) – Answers correctly when called upon; homework not always prepared well or on time; unsure of some basic grammar concepts; makes frequent mistakes with advanced grammar. - D (60’s) – Not able to answer when called upon, homework poorly prepared or not at all; shows little interest in class; makes frequent mistakes with basic grammar concepts. - F (50’s) – Shows no interest in speaking Spanish; does not prepare homework or discussion topics; rarely answers when called upon or repeatedly gives incorrect answers and makes frequent mistakes with basic grammar concepts.

“It is good to live and learn.” Don Quixote Part II. Chap. xxxii. ForsproM4930/5930 Hispanic Short Stories Summer 2007. Madrid Professor: Dr Enrique Herrera, eherrera@lhup.edu Required Text:.Mullen, Edward and Jonh Carganigo, El cuento hispánico McGraw Hill Seventh Edition 2007 COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course will focus on the study of Hispanic short stories from some of the most important writers of the cannon. We will read, discuss, and analyze representative works from Spain and Latin America, exploring relevant topics and how they relate to literary movements and to each author’s socio-historical context. One of the main goals in this course is to engage the students in active and critical analysis of literary works, so they can gain understanding of the intricate historical, cultural, and artistic connections at different periods of time in literary history of Spain and Latin America. With the formal study of these narratives students will come to a deeper appreciation of the creative process, which in turn can lead to a more profound level of self-reflection and understanding of our place in the world. In order to achieve these goals, the course includes extensive reading, class and group discussions, analytical writings, and oral presentations about the works studied. COURSE REQUIREMENTS ATTENDANCE: A major goal of this class is to read and the facilitation of spontaneous oral communication, a skill that can only be developed with adequacy in a participatory classroom environment. Consequently, students are required to attend classes. Starting with the second unexcused absence (one absence per class), 5% will be taken off you final grade. An excused absence includes a medical emergency. Written documentation is required for excused absences the day after missing class. Students are expected to always come to class on time. Two tardies or leaving early will count as one absence HOMEWORK: Disciplined daily reading is essential and students must prepare and complete all assignments on time. No late work will be accepted. You are responsible for the material covered in class and assigned; even those days when you do not attend CLASS PARTICIPATION: Oral participation in class activities and discussions is mandatory since it will help students to practice and review the readings, grammatical constructions and new vocabulary as well as improve reading and oral proficiency. Extensive reading is required everyday in this class. Therefore, it is extremely important to distribute the reading throughout the week. EXAMS AND QUIZZES: There will be one mid-term exam, one final and quizzes based on the readings. There will be no make-ups unless there is a written documented reason. Final exam will be comprehensive and you have to take the final on the date assigned. ORAL PRESENTATION. For this assignment students will work individually and will present 10 to 15 minutes of information on one of the readings previously chosen and approved by the professor. The grade will be based on evidence of research carried out for the project, accuracy of said information, memorization of the material presented, clarity of ideas, the obvious amount of preparation involved in the project, and the correct use of grammar and vocabulary related to the subject. A one page detailed outline is required the day of the presentation giving the main idea and points of short story presented to the class. ELECTRONIC DEVICES: Cell phones, cameras, and any other electronic devices are NOT allowed and must be turned off while class is in session. STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES: This course compiles with the regulations of the American with Disabilities Act and offers accommodations to qualified students with disabilities. If you have a special request or are in need of a classroom accommodation, please make an appointment with me to discuss this as soon as possible. All information will be held in the strict confidence CODE OF ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: Every student should avoid copying, plagiarizing and any other form of cheating. The instructor and the program director will initiate an academic integrity case against students suspected of cheating, plagiarizing, getting help or aiding others in dishonest academy behavior. Examples of academy dishonesty include, but are not limited to, plagiarism, cheating, aiding and abetting dishonesty. An example of plagiarism would be to submit a written sample which in part or in whole is not entirely the student’s own work without attributing the source. Cheating includes allowing another person to help or do your work and to submit it under one’s own name. Any work which is submitted for a grade MUST be the student’s own work. If you are not sure when it is appropriate to seek help, please see your instructor.
