COURSE DESCRIPTION The Level III language course focuses on the continued development of communicative competence in the target language and understanding of the culture(s) of the people who speak the language. It assumes that the students have completed a Level II course or are at a Novice-Mid to Novice-High level of proficiency. Students use basic language structures with accuracy and recombine learned material to express their thoughts. They are exposed to more complex features of the language, moving from concrete to some abstract concepts. An important component of language classes is the use of the language beyond the classroom in the real world. The integration of technology will be used as an important tool in accessing authentic information in the target language and in providing students the opportunity to interact with the teacher, peers and native speakers. This course is taught for Spanish 3 Honors level according to the Modern Languages Level III. Instruction and assessment will be differentiated in accordance with the American Council for Teachers of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) guidelines to meet the needs of gifted and honors level students. Students at this level will be expected to perform with minimal guided practice and fostering independent learning. COURSE COURSE CONTENT CONTENT Linguistic content will include topics of grammar and vocabulary essential for intermediate -level conversational Spanish, as determined by the Georgia Performance Standards for Modern Languages, Level III, with differentiation of instruction provided to challenge the honors-level student. Hispanic culture and current events will be explored through authentic materials, technology based tasks, readings, video, current events, cultural projects and foods. Oral and written tasks will be implemented at different levels of complexity and with different amounts of teacher support. Communicative activities focus on the same topics as in on-level Spanish III class, but completion requires different levels of sophistication and a higher and more challenging level of linguistic performance. Technology will be used to provide opportunities to extend language practice beyond the classroom setting. A component in digital literacy is incorporated into the World Language curriculum in order to prepare students as global citizens in the 21st century.
