(PREREQUISITE: MIDDLE SCHOOL SPANISH 1)

This Interactive Zoom class meets with other students from around Alaska and beyond! Together we will use conversation, role playing, games, reading, and writing in ways that really support our learning. The second year of Middle School Spanish takes a step up in terms of learning the grammar and basic verb usage needed to speak Spanish correctly. Along with this we will be covering the necessary vocabulary to speak about these common themes: Daily life, sports and hobbies, making plans, places in the community, navigating a map, making purchases, and animals and habitats. 

Course description:  

Students continue to develop and expand their proficiency skills in listening, speaking, reading and writing of Spanish with more in­-depth study of the Hispanic/Latino culture. Communicative activities in Spanish will involve students in a variety of practical situations for further development of the oral and written language including additional grammatical structures in preparation for level II high school language course in 9th grade.

This Interactive Zoom class meets with other students from around Alaska and beyond!

In the first year of high school Spanish there is a lot to learn so that we can set up a strong foundation. We will cover lots of basic vocabulary in first semester and practice it with other students in class.  In the second semester (in Spring) we will begin to put this vocabulary together in ways that allow us to expand our conversations, so that by the end of the year we have much of the basic vocabulary needed to survive while traveling in a Spanish-speaking country.  We will have plenty of practice using the language to help us build the confidence needed to actually do that. 

Course description: 

Students develop skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Student will learn to understand and produce simple expressions and are introduced to the cultures of Spanish-speaking countries. The goal is to develop fluency in real-life situations within the novice range as indicated by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL). Emphasis is vocabulary development and essential grammar within a context. Students should be able to speak about themes of self, families, homes, friends and activities. Students should be able to communicate likes, dislikes, and preferences using the present time-frame.  NOTE: 7th-8th grade students may register with instructor permission.

Interactive Group Zoom

Second year Spanish students will learn and  practice more advanced Spanish with other students around Alaska and possibly beyond! Class is taught live and students work at home with curriculum while conversing with other students in partners or small groups with teacher facilitating. Students will learn how to talk about what we WILL or WOULD do, while expanding our ability to talk about what we ARE doing and what we DID do.  We will do this in creative ways with peers in class so we can build confidence along the way.

Course description: 

Students continue to expand upon oral and written communications through vocabulary building and grammar advancement. Students in this online course learn to understand and produce simple language related to familiar topics. Students also continue to learn about the culture of the Spanish-speaking peoples. The goal of this course is for students to function at a novice-mid to novice-high level of proficiency, depending on their back- ground, and to begin to show signs of intermediate-low level of proficiency 
NOTE: 7th-8th grade students may register with instructor permission. 

Meets 2x per week $400 per semester

ZOOM: Days/Times TBD

Interactive Zoom: Meet with other students from around Alaska and beyond to expand Spanish language skills through speaking, reading, and writing! At this level students will do explorative activities such as reading longer selections like short stories and news articles, and maybe even a novel!  This helps students to develop a deeper understanding of Hispanic culture while also learning how the language works. Through discussion and written response students will learn to express themselves both in conversation and in writing. By the third year in Spanish, students are truly beginning to feel the magic happen!

Course Description:

Students continue their development of communication skills. Increased emphasis is placed on responding to written and verbal input, including learning more about Spanish-speaking cultures through reading selections and conversation.  In this course students learn more complex grammar and continue to expand upon vocabulary acquisition in order to satisfy some survival needs and courtesy requirements. The main goal of this course is for students to progress towards an intermediate low level of proficiency as indicated by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL).
