Courses are based on active learner participation. Students are expected to engage in interactive small and large‐group activities. The different tasks presented in class will require students to use Spanish in multiple situations that reflect the use of different varieties of Spanish. Assessment is based on both your ability to use the language in written and oral tasks and on your knowledge and understanding of Spanish language and culture.  \nGLOBAL RESPONSIBLE LITERACY AND SPANISH: STUDENTS’ LEARNING OUTCOMES  \nGlobal responsible literacy is the ability to participate in sociocultural practices by creating, presenting, and interpreting ideas through oral and written texts in Spanish. It includes written and oral communication, critical thinking and social responsibility, and appreciation of cultural artifacts, artistic products, and artistic appreciation and mastery of new technologies.  \nIn Spanish A1, A2, B 1. 1, and B1 .2 courses (Basic and Intermediate Spanish in ACFL) learning outcomes are introduced.
