In Ab Initio Spanish I, students learn to communicate orally through functions and topics. The sounds of language are learned through dialogues, situations and practice activities. Students learn to practice the four language modes (listening, speaking, reading and writing) in a variety of situations. The main focus of the program this first year is communication using the three communicative modes: interpersonal, interpretive and presentational. These modes are aligned with National Standards and the Maryland state framework. For the interpretive and interpersonal modes, students focus on listening to and interacting with the teacher and classmates on selected topics that relate to self, family, friends and community but can also include other topics from the above-mentioned themes, depending on the proficiency of the students. Students will also demonstrate an understanding of the language by using verbal and non-verbal visual cues and reading to understand and convey messages by using CDs, videocassettes, pictures, flashcards and open-ended sentences. For the presentational mode, students will focus on presenting skits and projects and using the three communicative modes.
