| Spanish 11 Online SIDES | 02E SIDES | This online Spanish 11 course is the result of a partnership between the School District No. 36 (Surrey) and the Open School BC (OSBC). The whole course is communicative -approach based. This course will help students to become familiar with the Spanish-speaking world, not a particular country or region. They assume the role of a participant in an exchange program that includes a virtual trip. Using the Internet, they research and communicate information about youth in the Hispanic world (Module 1) and make all the preparations to get ready for their exchange trip (Module 2). Once there, they describe their daily life and present information about the education system, and activities and pastimes of youth in that Spanish-speaking country (Module 3). Back home, they report on the trip to family and friends (Module 4). The course lessons range are not aimed to replace any text or workbook available in stores. The lesson topics, along with the grammar-based activities, are in English to ensure that the theory is clearly understood. Lessons activities and section assignment instructions are bilingual. There are no tests with this course. The final grade is a combination of all the section assignments. There is no final exam. |
