Spanish 2

Every learner will use a world language, in addition to English, to engage in meaningful, intercultural communication, understand and interpret the spoken and written language, and present information, concepts and ideas in local and global communities. Through learning the language, they will gain an understanding of the perspectives of other cultures and compare the language and cultures learned with their own.

We will use “Can-Do” statements to create, work towards, monitor, and meet goals as they pertain to language acquisition and career- and college-readiness. Furthermore, we will apply the concepts of connections, comparisons, and communities to develop a broader understanding of culture and communication. Ultimately, this class will enable students to broaden their understanding and celebrate perspectives, practices, and products of people around the world. Students will engage in reading, writing, listening, and speaking activities; we will communicate, collaborate, innovate, and employ critical thinking skills.

Sumter School Districts expects that we address themes, vocabulary, and grammar contained within Units 1-5B of the Autético textbook. We will utilize the textbook as a solid guide while also exploring additional topics that may be of interest to you and/or pertinent to our current environment and realities.
