SLL 108: Spanish Grammar (SPAN 303)
Course description
The content of the course includes the main points of those remaining difficulties which a student may encounter in the latter part of an advanced learning phase and the best way to solve them, within a pragmatic tone. Students wishing to enroll on this course must have the required level of Spanish, active knowledge as well as passive, and certain knowledge of Spanish grammar. The student is offered a definitive consolidation of this knowledge by means of a systematic presentation of the grammar along with numerous exercises.
Course Reflective Narrative
I completed the course SLL 108: Spanish Grammar, which is equivalent to SPAN 303, during the Fall Semester of 2012. This course meets the MLO 2, because the course was taught completely in Spanish, and the course is an advanced grammar class. In class we went over the use of the indicative tense, also the use of the subjunctive (In independent phrases and in dependent phrases). We also went over the use of SER and ESTAR, which included non-attribute use, auxiliary use, and attributive use. Others things that we went over were the use of the demonstratives, verbal periphrasis, the impersonal and passive structure, pronominal structure, indefinites, subordinate phrases, conversation structures, etc.
During this class we always had to complete exercises in class as well as for homework. The grade for class was based on participation in class, doing the exercises, and two exams (a midterm and a final exam). The professor for this class was very professional and acknowledged the difference between my Spanish and the Spanish that is used in Granada, Spain. I learned a lot of rules that I knew how to use, but did not know why I used them. Spanish is my first language but I came to USA when I was 12 years old and was placed in the English as a Second Language program. The main focused was for me to learn English, which made sense at the time and I put my Spanish aside. I want to keep learning and teach what I know. I plan to motivate students to learn another language, and keep reading, learning, because that is a never-ending task.
