ACTIVITIES FOR SUCCESS Believe you will learn to converse on one more topic in every chapter; by the end of the semester you will have Novice-mid / A2 level proficiency and be able to ‘parrot’ questions and answers in eight basic areas. Commit to this. Prepare for and attend all classes; converse constantly with others and with yourself. Prioritize: train yourself to relax in your free time by practicing interesting Spanish Qs and As. Avoid idleness for relaxation: social media/games max 1 hour per week; Plan: Nip emergencies in the bud: do not agree to be called in to work for an emergency, nor doctor’s appointments nor court appearances during class time; have backups for other potential problems (car maintenance, extra babysitters). Organize: Recognize that 5-credit-hour language classes don't mix with ER, absenteeism, extra-long vacations nor 'catching up.'
ATTENDANCE & DAILY QUIZZES The most valuable Spanish-learning activity is attending every class, on time and being prepared, participating enthusiastically, remaining the whole time; not arriving late and not leaving early. (BTW: no sleeping; turn electronic distractions off – not on ‘vibrate’). Class starts with a 5-point non-make-up-able quiz based on the study assignment for that day plus a review of previous material (vocabulary, structures, culture). The quiz is used for attendance, so late students need to submit a short note with their name and arrival time or send an ‘attendance email’ (via Canvas only) that same week.
LEARNING TOOLS. Arriba vol. 1 has 8 chapters (el capítulo = CAP), so we learn basic vocabulary, structures and culture in 8 areas. PREPARATION Read out loud the daily assignment before class, memorize vocabulary, practice oral exercises, complete assigned written/listening exercises in MSL before 11:59 PM the day before each class.. Also complete the assigned TEXT exercises: this means to practice them orally. It may also mean jotting down answers and having them ready to show at the beginning of class. ASSESSMENT OF PROGRESS Tests come at the end of each CAP 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 plus the final exams, and they can vary between a Structure/Listening test, a written composition and an oral conversation test. Students converse with a partner or with the instructor. Sample Structur/Listening Q: You hear ‘¿Cómo es Michelle Obama?’ You write Ella es alta, simpática y muy inteligente. or maybe you mark some multiple-choice answer. Sample written composition: You prepare to write about a topic given at the beginning of the CAP, such as ‘Talk about your family’s daily activities.’ You write Mi Papa trabaja en Walmart; mi mamá enseña yoga. Mi hermano estudia en Westminster....’ Sample oral conversation test: You and a partner get together outside of class and plan a conversation on the assigned topic. You use little drawings as a memory device to remember your questions and answers. ‘Find out where they go to college and what their major is.’ A: ¿Qué estudias? B: No, estudio en SLCC. ¿Dónde estudias tú? B: Etudio biología. Y tú, ¿qué estudias tú? A: Estudio en Weber. A: Yo estudio Infomática. ¿Estudias en la Universidad de Utah? B: Oh, Weber es fabuloso...
VIDEO ASSIGNMENTS You are assigned to use our Canvas website to make 1 video of yourself conversing in Spanish every 2 weeks (total 7 in the semester). Requirements for all videos this semester: all in Spanish; no English; 2+ minutes each; record them in Canvas DISCUSSIONS; you are allowed to use very few notes, but you are not really allowed to read; gradually have free conversations; ideally converse with someone else or talk alone but ask yourself rhetorical questions; must be totally audible = clear and loud---otherwise no credit; your face must be visible at least a few seconds; avoid vulgarity; you will also post one (or more) of your best videos as your ePortfolio signature assignment. Grading rubric includes following instructions correctly (no reading) , quality, clarity and volume, accuracy, interest

BEGINNING OF SYLLABUS

COURSE OBJECTIVES

Students in Spanish 1010 learn how to ask and answer questions at virtually normal speed with at least 80% accuracy on these topics:

Capítulo (CAP) 1: Exploring who I am + the Spanish-speaking world

CAP 2: Exploring what I do + Spain

CAP 3: Exploring my study plans and interests + México

CAP 4: Exploring my family and friends + Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador

CAP 5: Evaluating my daily routine + Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panamá

CAP 6: Exploring food + Chile

CAP 7: Telling what I have done + Cuba, Puerto Rico, La República Dominicana

CAP 8: Describing what I used to do + Ecuador, Perú

Students commit to learning Spanish in SPN 1020, 2010 and 2020. They expand their scope of topics and their breadth of discussion, passing from the parrot stage, through the survivor stage and reaching the storyteller stage by the end of the second year of instruction. They converse with ease and can apply for internships involving Spanish.

An incomplete is only given if the student has completed all of the work at a B+ level and has a last-minute emergency. Virtually no excused absences for work or other problems – unrealistic for 5-credit-hour classes.

WITHDRAWING FROM CLASS

The last day students are allowed to withdraw is during the ninth week of the semester

If students do not withdraw, and instead simply stop coming to class, they will receive an E on their transcript and the instructor is required to provide an LDA or Last Date of Attendance for all such students. After that day students would only be permitted to withdraw for extenuating circumstances such as illness that prevents them from completing the course, military service, out-of-state transfers, or the like. Students are not authorized to withdraw from classes after that date simply in order to avoid a failing grade on their transcripts. For legitimate withdrawal reasons the "Appeal to Withdraw" form can be obtained online at:

http://www.slcc.edu/enrollmentservices/docs/Withdraw_Form_06_11_07.pdf

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This is the first in a series of four courses which focus on all areas of competence in your target language: listening, speaking, reading, writing and culture. We study vocabulary and structure, but the major emphasis is on developing global communication skills and on increasing our awareness of the rich target-language cultures in many countries. We will see the language in a variety of contexts and use different kinds of materials to maximize our exposure to the language and cultural elements.

1010 language courses are designed for students with no background in the new language, so there is no prerequisite. If you have had previous courses and have questions about placement, please see me after class.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

• Comprehend the language in areas of immediate need and on very familiar topics.
• Speak the language well enough to satisfy immediate needs. You will learn to greet others, introduce yourself, handle basic social transactions, and
• talk about a variety of topics of common interest primarily in the present, with some capacity to express past time.
• Read simple texts (whether written for native or non-native speakers) and express in writing your preferences, ideas, opinions, needs, etc.
• Develop cultural awareness and sensitivity about everyday life in Spanish-speaking parts of the world.

ASSESSMENT

Students’ growing proficiency in the target language is assessed often as part of the participation activities during the semester. College language learners commonly go through three levels of language proficiency. Each level also has a Low, Mid and High phase:

Common Writing and Speaking Proficiency Levels

Reading and Listening Levels tend to be one sub-level higher.

USA NAME	EUROPE NAME	NICKNAME	PROFICIENC Y	SLCC class target
NOVICE low-medium-high	A 1-2	Parrot	Words, phrases, memorized sentences	1010, 1020
Intermediate low-medium-high	B 1-2	Survivor	Sentences	1020, 2010
Advanced low-medium-high	C 1-2	Storyteller	Paragraphs (native-speakers in daily life)	2010, 2020

SELF-ASSESSMENT

Please do this immediately if you have a low test score or a low rating on any other assessment:

1) Please do the extra credit work immediately . It is explained in the syllabus
2) Please also go to the SLCC 'Early Alert' helpers - find their phone number in the syllabus - and consult with them about how to be successful in this class.
3) Please let me know the results of your consultation.
4) Please also make any appointments with me that you wish, to go over the same things.
5) One more request from me: please analyze why you made the mistakes. Then, implement correction strategies immediately. As part of the self-analysis; ask yourself:

1. Am I prepared when I arrive at class? Did I study, read out loud and learn the material before class?
2. Do I have my tarea completed well and on time?
3. Do I keep up in SAM?
4. Do I attend class on time, am I engaged during class, and do I stay the whole time?
5. Am I correcting any tarea mistakes in class, and afterward, do I go over it with the tutors?
6. Do I have firm educational goals, good fitness; control of time and stress?

Since your oral and written work are study helps for each other, only use in one what you can handle in the other. Also, remember to use what your conversation partner can understand.

EPORTFOLIO (5% of course grade) and EXTRA CREDIT

General Education ePortfolio—Each student in General Education courses at SLCC maintains a General Education ePortfolio. Instructors in every Gen Ed course will ask you to put at least one assignment from the course into your ePortfolio, and accompany it with reflective writing. It is a requirement in this class for you to add to your ePortfolio, and this syllabus details the assignments and reflections you are to include. Your ePortfolio will allow you to include your educational goals, describe your extracurricular activities, and post your resume. When you finish your time at SLCC, your ePortfolio will then be a multi-media showcase of your educational experience. For detailed information visit http://www.slcc.edu/gened/eportfolio .

After you have picked an ePortfolio platform, go to the corresponding help site to watch the tutorials and look at the examples so you can get started on your own:

https://sites.google.com/site/slcceport

http://slcceportfolio.wordpress.com

http://slcceportfolio.weebly.com

If you would like to start your ePortfolio in a computer lab with a person there to help you, sign up online for one of the free workshops at the Taylorsville-Redwood library: http://libweb.slcc.edu/services/forms/eportfolio. You may also visit an ePortfolio Lab (in the Taylorsville-Redwood Library LIB 047 as well as in HTC 102a on the Jordan Campus) during business hours, and staff will help you without an appointment. Finally, questions regarding the ePortfolio can be directed to eportfolio@slcc.edu.

You are assigned to complete one or two signature assignments this semester; ideally, one after the beginning and one near the end of each semester. At least one of the signature assignments must be a video of you talking or conversing in the target language. Please remember that it is essential for your voice to be very audible and clear in the video. Since ePortfolios are vulnerable to outside access, please protect your privacy by placing blockers or firewalls, or by not showing your face in those videos.

 It is also possible to receive extra credit for additional videos. EC rules are:

it has to involve you speaking the target language correctly; 

it has to be culturally informative, and

it has to be posted / shared with others, so

it has to be audible and clear.   

 The first ePortfolio signature assignment 'you speaking' part can be partly read and partly spontaneous.   The second one for the end of the semester has to be mainly spontaneous speaking, and a little note-reading. Speaking could include reciting a poem, singing a song, conversing with someone.

All ePortfolio signature assignments include a second English-language reflection artifact (c. one page-worth written, spoken=video, both, etc.) sharing

your learning process,

what you accomplished

how it combines with what you learn outside of this foreign-language discipline

1. Earn extra-credit points by making a video recording target-language conversations with tutors and

others & by posting them in the Canvas course website. They are worth 5 points per 5-minute conversation. Rules:

1. Must be a Canvas video recording

It is also possible to receive EC points for a Canvas audio recording, as long as they include some visual, such as powerpoints, cartoons, Screener, etc.). These receive 5 points for a 10-minute audio presentation.

b) all utterances must be very audible (not too soft nor garbled---so do a sound check.); any visuals must be very clear.

c) correct taarget-language (no need perfect, but careful)

d) The student must do most of the speaking and must ask most of the questions. The language level should be natural for the student's level at the time the recording is made (not hard nor complicated).

e) It is also acceptable for the student to spend some time describing/discussing a target-language poem, song, etc., and then to recite (or sing) it.

f) Kindly exclude any obscenities or artifacts in questionable taste from EC work.

2) All students are actually assigned to create one video artifact for their ePortfolios; so the first artifact only receives EC points if it is posted both in the ePortfolio and on Canvas. The rest of the recorded uttterances receive extra-credit points after they are posted on Canvas, and students are encouraged to make as many of these as possible, especially during weekly visits with the tutors.

For your ePortfolio:

• If you make a signature-assignment video with your face visible, protect yourself and your privacy by having the ePortfolio lab aids help you to block outsiders from gaining access to your ePortfolio; or
• If you do not place the privacy blockers on your ePortfolio, then please make videos which do not show your face: perhaps use cartoon characters, sock puppets or other artifacts in front of your face.

FERPA - STUDENT PRIVACY RIGHTS - ANNUAL NOTICE

The registrar will make arrangements for access and notify you of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the registrar, he/she shall advise you of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed.
• The right to request the amendment of your student education records that you believe is inaccurate or misleading. Please write the college official responsible for the record, identify the part of the record you want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the college decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, the college will notify the student of the decision and advise him/her of the right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right of hearing.

Es la sangre de la tierra en que nací. Bulería, bulería más te quiero cada día. De tí vivo enamorado desde que te ví. Vengo como loco por la vida con el corazón latiendo porque sabe que tú estás. Ay vida, que palpita de alegría que me embriaga el sentimiento con tus besos más y más. Ay tienes el embrujo de la luna, la belleza de una rosa y la tibia sal del mar. Ay eres vino dulce de las uvas donde bebo con tus labios de la fuente para amar.  Refrain: Bulería, bulería, etc. Ganas de vivir aquí a tu lado, a tu cuerpo encadenado hechizado de pasión.  Ay nada, sin tu amor yo no soy nada. Soy un barco a la deriva que naufraga del dolor. El perfume de tu aliento quiero respirar y esa magia que hay en tu mirar. Ser el héroe de tus sueños, todo y mucho más quiero ser tu calma y tempestad. Refrain: Bulería, bulería, etc. [2X Acércate muy lento, déjate sentir. Enciénde ya éste fuego que hay dentro de mí Ay, ay, ay no me dejes sin tu amor. Sin tus besos soy un pobre corazón. Ay, ay, ay no me dejes sin tu amor. A tu lado no hay pesares, no hay dolor. Ay, ay, ay no me dejes sin tu amor. Y tu recuerdo siempre va por donde voy. Ay virgencita del cielo, como la quiero. Y a la luna, y a la luna sin ella muero. De rodillas yo te lo pido, díle que yo la estoy amando, yo no quiero vivir solito dime hasta cuando Refrain: Bulería, bulería, etc. [2X] ¡Bulería, bulería!

TWO VERBS IN ONE SENTENCE Sometimes there are two verbs in one sentence, such as a conjugated form of TENER + que + another verb, which must end in -r . tener is the helping verb = el verbo auxiliar, and the second verb is el verbo principal. Since two verbs in one sentence reminds the instructor of two verbs in one car, the icon for this is: The helping verb is the only one conjugated = the only driver. The main verb sits in the front seat but does not drive = ends with –r . Other helping verbs are desear, aprender a, necesitar, gustar, HOW GUSTAR WORKS: It gives the meaning of = to like to do something. However, the meaning and word order are “Doing something appeals to me.” Or actually: “to me + appeals + to do something. Question: ¿Te gusta comer pizza? ¿Te gusta estudiar? Answer: Sí, me gusta comer pizza. Sí, me gusta estudiar. Therefore, whatever verb/activitiy you like to do must end with an –r (comer, estudiar), NOT with the –ing form.
vier, 8. feb	TEST CAPs 1-2 composition, oral REVIEW AND COMPOSITION PART OF TEST: Bring to class a typed, double-spaced copy of your CAP 1 and CAP 2 composición and entrevista combined as a letter to a new roommate you will have in Spain: Have the correct heading and salutation; Write your basic contact information and a basic description of your personality; Ask your new roommate c. 30 uncomplicated questions, using each of the new verbs once, tener, tener que and ser once each. Intersperse after each question or every so often similar information about yourself. Example: “¿Qué estudias? Pues, yo estudio medicina. ¿Tomas mucha cerveza y bailas en los clubes? Yo bailo mucho, y tomo vino, pero no mucha cerveza. Remember, you are asking questions which the recipient will answer in a later letter. Then, to be polite, you are also sharing similar information about yourself. You are writing a letter, not a dialog. Finish your letter with something like ‘Nos vemos pronto, (your name)’ We will check the letters in class, then take the test. You will write a shorter version of the letter from memory (heading, salutation, 20-25 sentences, ending). As you write, you will meet with the instructor, two by two and hold a short conversation in Spanish, then you will return and finish your written test. ORAL CONVERSATION TEST Role-play with a classmate (or a friend or the instrctor) You are now in Spain, and you and your new roommate are getting to know each other by showing each other photos of you and friends engaging in your common activities back home. Bring real or pretend photos (la foto, drawings, google images—anything with no words) and spread them out in front of your roommate. Greet each other (call each other ‘tú’, not ‘Ud.’) Look at erach other’s pix and start asking each other questions about your common activies (ex: ¿Dónde vives? ¿Trabajas todos los días? ¿Aprendes matemáticas? ¿Qué libros lees? ¿Enseñas yoga a tus amigos? ¿Tienes un carro?) The roommate will answer questions and will also ask some: Maybe the same question back (Sí, tengo un carro. Es un Hyundae. Y tú, ¿tienes tu un carro también o viajas con el bus?), or maybe a different question (Francamente, yo no leo libros. Yo veo películas. Y tú, qué música escuchas?) You will probably converse for about 5 minutes and will probably ask and answer 8-10 questions with c. 8-10 different verbs. End the conversation by remembering something you have to do A: ¡Oh! Yo tengo que estudiar. B: ¿Sí, tienes que estudiar? Bueno, yo tengo que asisti a mi clase de Biología. Ciao A: Nos vemos Good ideas: Get a partner ahead of time and prepare by practicing with your pix outside of class. Use the material you are writing in your carta de introducción and entrevista. Prepare by looking at the ¿Cuánto sabes? sections in CAPs 1 and 2 and by thinking in Spanish, not in English. Things to avoid: You will want to talk about what you have done in the past, what you like to do (using gustar) and about your relatives. You may also want to say, “Here I am eating, drinking, skiing” etc. Please avoid structures and vocabulary you have not yet learned---you will use all of these soon in SPN 1010. Right now you want to concentrate on your pronunciation, forming simple questions by conjugating verbs and using question words, and la concordancia. COMIENZA CAP 3

TWO VERBS IN ONE SENTENCE

NOTA: ir + a + -r is the textbook’s way of saying that sometimes there are two verbs in one sentence,

such as a conjugated form of ir + a + another verb, which must end in -r . ir is the helping verb = el verbo auxiliar, and the second verb is el verbo principal. Since two verbs in one sentence reminds the instructor of two verbs in one car, the icon for this is:

The helping verb is the only one conjugated = the only driver. The main verb sits in the front seat but does not drive = ends with –r .

Other helping verbs are desear, aprender a, necesitar, gustar, (deber, querer, tener que, preferir, pensar, empezar a, volver a )

NOTA: Spanish has two verbs meaning ‘to be:’ ser and estar.

ESTAR			SER
estoy	estamos		soy	somos		The main meaning of estar is that a condition will eventually end: ----|	The main meaning of ser is that something exists permanently. ----------
Estás	estáis		eres	sois
está	están		es	son

NOTA: estar is used for location of places – lugares. Ser is used for location o events.

Mamá, estoy en la catedral, de Notre Dame. La misa es en la catedral de Notre Dame.

La fiesta es en mi casa. Yo estoy en mi casa

NOTE re por & para: they are prepositions = their position is in front of a noun. Explanation of drawings: The horizontal line ( the top arrow is is por and the bottom arrow is para. The round circle and round faces represent nouns

The horizontal line passing through a place means ‘through.’ por el túnel It also represents ‘at’ or ‘close to’ an unspecified location por la playa. Also some thing or person someone gets and brings it somewhere else. Va por pan. Va por Claudia Also an unspecified time of day por la tarde,

  represents ‘because of someone’ por mi mamá. also ‘instead of someone’ Trabaja por su amigo enfermo.

Also ‘because of a quality’ Hace eso por (ser) malo. Hace eso por (estar) cansado.

por & noun

 

por is a line moving through a noun, or it is something close to a noun.

PRONUNCIATION AND SPELLING

Unlike vowels in English, Spanish vowels have only one sound, and it is the same as their names. That is why Spanish is called a phonetic language and is so easy to pronounce.

CAPITULOS 2 y 6: La mano de gustar

In English we say “I like to eat. I like eating. I like food.” However, in Spanish, we must use gustar, which means to appeal to; so we say the equivalent of “Eating appeals to me. Food appeals to me”

Therefore, the gustar verb ending must match the activitiy or noun one likes, because that activity / noun is the subject. In Spanish 1010 there are only singular or plural activities/nouns, so there are only two kinds of verb endings in 1010. These can be represented by the Spock hand sign

Speak the Language A State Department staffer reveals his tricks for becoming fluent fast

I never had a French nanny. There were no Chinese-language charter schools when I was growing up in Rhode Island in the ’80s. My family may have come from Russia a century ago, but I heard nary a “do svidanya” from my parents. So how on earth did I learn Russian, French, Chinese and enough Kazakh to translate the news? I ran press conferences in Russian, located lost luggage in Chinese and read Guy de Maupassant in French. There are people out there who speak all of these languages better than I do, but I learned them all — without shortcuts. It wasn’t easy. But, to quote Stephen Colbert: I am America, and so can you. That is to say, I was born and bred in the U.S.A., yet I figured it out – and have some suggestions for you (or for your precocious toddler). Follow these easy steps to get on the fast track to Polyglot City.

Make the commitment.

You didn’t think you could make the varsity basketball team without shooting hundreds of layups, right? As with any skill, languages need to be practiced and honed. You probably won’t be able to put in that kind of practice unless your heart is really in it. Pick a language you love and are motivated to keep studying. ...

If you’re not dreaming of reading Tolstoy in the original, whispering sweet nothings to a Parisian demoiselle, or starting the next Google in Shanghai, it may be time to re-evaluate whether you really want to learn that language, or whether it’s just another half-hearted New Year’s resolution.

 Take a hard class with lots of grammar. [grammar, vocabulary & culture: in context]

Maybe James Bond can arrive in Montenegro and be fluent in Serbo-Croatian within minutes. In the real world, you can only learn to speak a language well if you learn how it’s built.

Words are the bricks, and grammar is the mortar. Without solid grammatical skills, you will lose a lot of native-speaking friends whose patience is tested to the breaking point. Trust me, I know: I barely survived making inadvertent sexual innuendo to my host mother in Moscow when I used the wrong form of the verb “to end.”Take a hard class that really teaches you grammar. If you’re not learning declensions and verb conjugations in your first weeks of Foreign Language 101, you’re wasting your time.

Troops go to boot camp before they deploy. It’s the same deal for languages, except instead of ammo magazines, you’ll need boxes of notecards for vocabulary and verb tenses. If you’re not doing homework and drilling vocabulary nearly every day, you will have a hard time making steady progress. Build at least a few minutes of study into your daily routine. The Metro is a great place to flip through your vocab notecards.

Open your mouth.

In all the language programs I’ve ever been part of — and I’ve sampled quite a few — having the opportunity and gumption to speak regularly is critical.

If you aren’t speaking [conversing] in class, it’s like reading “Juggling for Dummies” without picking up any balls. Force yourself. Not only does speaking give you practice for the real thing, it reinforces the knowledge that you have just acquired, cementing it in your brain. And keep in mind that when your luggage is lost in an airport in remote southwest China, you won’t get it back by telepathy. Trust me — I’ve tried.

Now there are even foreign-language practice websites and channels on YouTube that let you practice speaking, so you can interact and get feedback on your oral skills wherever you are. Try BBC Languages (Bbc.co.uk/languages), LiveMocha (Livemocha.com) or Babbel (Babbel.com).

The very best way to acquire speaking and listening skills quickly is to participate in a summer immersion language program [or to create your own program]. You can go anywhere to do this — in fact, I argue that the best opportunities are often in the U.S. These programs — some of the best-known take place at Indiana University (Indiana.edu), Middlebury College in Vermont (Middlebury.edu/ls) and Middlebury’s Monterey Institute in California (Miis.edu) — help you focus on rapid language acquisition on picturesque college campuses without all of the logistical, cultural, social and safety issues inherent to venturing abroad. These programs are admittedly expensive (sometimes in the range of $10,000 for six to 10 weeks), but a quality program can help you leapfrog entire academic years in a single summer.

Buy a ticket. [or create your target-language reality here]

So you’ve taken a year or two of college-level Spanish (or the Rosetta Stone equivalent). Now what?

Time to test your mettle in real-life situations: Do you know how to ask whether a store in China has shampoo? Or what to say to the customs agent who frisks you at the Russian border? For that kind of fluency, you need in-country immersion, preferably at least four to six months. If you’re a student, a semester or year abroad is ideal. If you’re gainfully employed, there are other options. Take a two-week studycation at a language institute in a warm-weather area of your desired country. Go between jobs. Apply for a scholarship, such as the Fulbright (Fulbright.state.gov) or the Critical Language Scholarship (Clscholarship.org), which are both run by the U.S. State Department. Or find a place to volunteer with native speakers.

Go on a date.

Once abroad, it is critical not to get stuck in the comfortable cocoon of the expatriate community. So why not date?

Granted, if you’re married this one is not advisable. But maybe you’re young, unmarried and possibly even attractive. You’re also probably American, which is better than beer goggles in many foreign countries.

So put on your party shoes and hit the nightlife. A couple of drinks should provide the necessary social lubrication. Dating a native speaker gives you the motivation to learn and brings with it the nonverbal situations, companionship and patient interlocutors that make learning a language fun and survivable over long stretches when you can only express yourself with a first grader’s vocabulary.

My girlfriend in Moscow, Ira, not only tolerated my grammar mistakes, but took me to the coolest indie-rock joints in town. She also nursed me back to health after a nasty bout with mono. Can your Rosetta Stone do that?

If dating is out of the question, find other social activities that provide similar language-learning opportunities — clubs, sports teams, charities — any hangout where informal, friendly interaction is de rigueur.

If you have a soccer ball, you’ll have friends — and language practice — within minutes practically anywhere.

Get a job.

After dating, the next best thing for learning a language is getting a job that requires using it. There’s nothing that concentrates the mind like an assignment with no shortcuts. While studying in Moscow in 2000, I took an internship that required me to cold-call people in Russian. I’ve never looked at a phone with so much horror before or since. (I was comforted to discover the guy who answered the phone at the Korean Embassy had a worse accent in Russian than I did.) I was constantly forced to be on my game. Sure enough, within a couple of years I was giving press conferences in confident Russian. Bonus: Professional-level language skills are a huge leg up in a tough job market.

Don’t lose it.

Some people can go years without practice and pick up where they left off. Not so for others of us, and certainly not for languages that aren’t deeply ingrained. I haven’t spoken Kazakh since 2007, and it’s virtually gone. Solution: Return to Step No. 1. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.

Depressing? Sí, un poco. But not letting all your hard work slip away is critical, and perhaps the hardest part of all.

My advice: Call your old friends abroad regularly, meet native speakers at home, watch movies, listen to foreign

music and read the literature [talk back to everything].

My wife, Hannah, calls me an overscheduled child for all my language activities: Chinese class on Wednesdays, Russian happy hour on Thursdays, and on and on. Keep the flame alive, and make sure you remember why you undertook this crazy language quest in the first place.

June 17, 2012 · 1:43 pm The Right and Wrong Way to Learn a Foreign Language

Just found an article about how we should be learning foreign languages. From The Washington Post, June 17, 2012, written by linguist Stephen Krashen, professor emeritus at the University of Southern California, is an educational researcher and activist. He has written hundreds of articles and books in the fields of second language acquisition, bilingual education, and reading.

By Stephen Krashen

In a recent issue of the Washington Post Express, Andrew Eil, a staffer who works at the U.S. State Department on international climate change, recommends that foreign language students start with “boot camp:” Study grammar very hard, drill vocabulary every day, and force yourself to talk. This regimen, he claims, put him in a position to develop high levels of competence in several languages; he now speaks Russian and French fluently and can converse in Mandarin and Kazakh.

Most of us who have taken foreign languages classes that emphasize heavy grammar instruction and memorizing vocabulary would disagree with his recommendations, and so does the research.

The results of studies done over the last few decades by a wide variety of researchers and published in scientific journals support this view: We do not master languages by hard study and memorization, or by producing it. Rather, we acquire language when we understand what people tell us and what we read, when we get “comprehensible input.” As we get comprehensible input through listening and reading, we acquire (or “absorb”) the grammar and vocabulary of the second language.

Studies show repeatedly that intensive grammar study and memorizing vocabulary are of limited value: Students in classes that provide lots of comprehensible input (e.g. methods such as TPRS) consistently do better than students in traditional grammar-based classes on tests that involve real communication and do just as well, and often better, on grammar tests. These students have acquired the grammar and vocabulary of the language naturally, and can use what they have acquired in real communicative situations. They are also more likely to continue foreign language study.

Grammar

The complexity of the grammatical system to be mastered makes it highly unlikely that it can be taught and learned: Linguists have not even described the grammatical system of any language completely and many rules are forbiddingly complex, with numerous exceptions.

Even very complex rules, however, can be acquired (or “absorbed”) through comprehensible input, especially through reading. Here is one of many examples from the research: In one study, English speakers who spoke Spanish as a second language were tested on their ability to use the Spanish subjunctive in conversation. The subjunctive is of interest as it is considered a difficult structure to master. Researchers considered a number of predictors of subjunctive proficiency: amount of formal study of Spanish, amount of formal study of the subjunctive, years of residence in a Spanish-speaking country, and the amount of reading done in Spanish. The only significant predictor was reading in Spanish.

Vocabulary

There is a substantial research literature showing that vocabulary knowledge comes largely from comprehensible input, especially reading, in both first and second languages. Many second language speakers acquire enormous vocabularies, and it is highly doubtful that they did it through vocabulary study: In one study, it was reported that speakers of Spanish as a second language who were avid readers in Spanish had larger Spanish vocabularies than native speakers of Spanish who did not do a lot of reading.

Forced speech

Should language students force themselves to talk, as Eil advises? Research informs us that at beginning stages, highly successful second language acquirers often experience a substantial “silent period,” a time when they produce little or no language. The silent period is nearly universal for children acquiring a second language, and there are entire cultures in which second language acquirers are expected to experience a silent period. Also, successful comprehensible-input based methods do not force students to speak.

Forcing language students to speak before they are ready not only makes them extremely uncomfortable but does nothing for language acquisition. Speaking doesn’t cause language acquisition; rather, the ability to speak is the result of comprehensible input.

Comprehensible input at all stages

Andrew Eil has clearly done well in foreign language acquisition, and he acknowledges the value of the experiences he had during his residence in Russia, Kazakhstan, France and China over several years, from the reading he did, the movies he saw, the many conversations he had with others, and other kinds of “informal, friendly interaction.” In other words, he improved thanks to comprehensible input.

Current research strongly suggests that comprehensible input is the way we acquire language at all stages. The kind of “boot camp” Eil recommends is neither necessary nor desirable.
