Spanish Syllabus

1-2

Welcome to the fascinating world of World Language Learning. We wish you and your students the very best of luck in your endeavors to become familiar with the Spanish language and the cultures of the people who speak it. Our programming includes a two-year curriculum (Thematic Units 1-5 and 6-10) so that your students can study Spanish in a consistent way all through elementary school. Each year of instruction is comprised of fifty lessons. The units and the programs at all different levels complement and build off of each other and are designed so that both beginners and those who have had some Spanish previously can benefit. Language elements are constantly reviewed and reinforced from year to year. Beginners can get “caught up” while those who have participated in the program for some time can review and expand their knowledge of the language. Because of this structuring, even a student in sixth grade can feel comfortable coming into the program as a beginner at the sixth-grade level.
