GOALS of the Oklahoma State University Spanish Online Program
COMMUNICATION: Students present information on different topics using many formats. They engage in conversations about topics such as Food, Clothing, Places in Town, and Leisure Activities. They learn to express likes and dislikes and to interpret written and spoken language.
CULTURES: Students will gain an understanding of different Spanish cultural practices and products for example: Courtesies, Hispanic School Systems, Meal times, Literature, and Art.
CONNECTIONS: Students learn about different aspects of the Hispanic culture which connect to other disciplines such as geography, history, literature, art, and music.
COMPARISONS: Students learn about language in general and about the concept of culture by comparing the Hispanic culture and the Spanish language to their own.
COMMUNITIES: Students use Spanish beyond the school setting by accessing websites, radio stations, and television broadcasts in Spanish. As well, they will look for the use of the Spanish language and the presence of the Hispanic culture in theirs and surrounding communities.
