Question 1

What will I learn in 8th Grade Spanish?

Accepted Answer

In this class, students explore the basic structures of the Spanish language and the diverse cultures of Spanish-speaking people around the world. This course is designed to empower students through intercultural understanding and improve students’ ability to communicate in Spanish. When communicating, students in the Level I Language and Culture course demonstrate an understanding of the culture(s), incorporate interdisciplinary topics (connections), make comparisons between the native language and the target language and between cultures (comparisons), and use the target language in real-life settings (communities). Students will engage content from six-course themes through reading, writing, listening, and speaking. In an Honors course, students should expect a faster pace, additional content, and higher expectations regarding the use of Spanish in the classroom and engagement with higher-level content and thinking. If a student decides to stay at BLSYW for high school and passes this class with a grade of C+ or higher, she will receive high school credit for the course. This means that upon entering BLSYW 9th grade, she will be placed in Spanish II. Because this class is designed to potentially give you high school credit, expectations will match those of a high school class.
