Authentic resources will be used as a means to examine culture and as springboards for discussion and for instruction in listening, speaking, reading, and writing in an array of contexts and situations. Materials will typically be posted on Canvas and/or linked to syllabus a week before we will discuss / study them in class.
Diversity (age, race, ethnicity, faith, gender identity, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, and perspectives) is welcomed in this course. If you have a preferred pronoun of which you would like me and the students in the course to be aware, please notify us on the first day of class.
Please reach out to me first and directly during my office hours with suggestions and/or concerns. If you are registered with the Disability Resource Center, please plan on meeting with me in person during my office hours no later than by the end of the first week of classes to discuss how I might best be able to accommodate your need/s.
Cheating and/or plagiarism will not be tolerated. The use of translation software or artificial intelligence to complete your homework and/or quizzes is forbidden. As per California Education Code Section 78907, neither electronic listening nor recording devices can be used without my consent.
