Expectations:

Students are expected to work independently or in groups as assigned and will be given a participation rubric. Students must follow the ABC Discipline Plan and meet class expectations for behavior in order to earn their points.
2. Classwork: Independent and group classwork is expected to be completed in class following the assignment rubric. Students will be learning and acquiring skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. It is extremely important to attend class every day and participate fully in all activities to improve language skills. Conversational skills are the foundation for the language and must be practiced daily.
NOTE: Assignments must be completed on time to receive full credit. Assignments turned in on time, but incomplete will receive 1/2 credit; additional credit will be given if completed prior to the test. Assignments not turned in or completed on time will have 0 points, however partial points will be given if completed prior to the test.
3. Homework: Assignments will be noted in student planners. Some assignments will require access to computers and the internet. Students are responsible for letting me know if they need assistance in accessing the internet.
4. Make-up work: If a student has a legitimate absence or tardy, they will be given sufficient time to make up assignments. However, it is the student's responsibility to find out what they have not completed. Assignments will be posted on this website or you may talk to me directly.
5. Parents/Guardians: When notes go home, it is the student's responsibility to make sure that parents see the information and obtain a parent or guardian signature as required. Students will also need to keep their planners updated and may be required to obtain parent signature on their planners as a form of notification.
Welcome to the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO)
Middle Years Programme (MYP) Language B Spanish!
Language B
The primary aim of language B is to encourage students to gain competence in a modern language other than their mother tongue, with the long-term goal of balanced bilingualism.
In addition, the study of language B aims to:
- encourage in the student a respect for and understanding of other languages and cultures
- provide a skills base to facilitate further language learning.
- enable the student to use the language effectively as a means of practical communication, providing a sound base of communication skills necessary for future study, work, and leisure
- enable the student to understand the nature of language and the process of total language learning, which comprises the integration of linguistic, cultural and social components
- enable the student to develop an appreciation of a variety of literary and non-literary texts
- offer insight into the cultural characteristics of the communities where the language is spoken
- encourage an awareness and understanding of the perspectives of people from other cultures
- promote involvement with different communities
- provide access to varied sources of information
- foster curiosity, a lifelong interest and enjoyment in language learning.
- Proficiency in a second language gives students:
- access to a broader range of input, experiences and perspectives
- the enjoyment of being able to communicate in a language other than their mother tongue
- It is also acknowledged that learning another language greatly contributes to the holistic development of students and is believed to raise achievement in other subject areas.
(IBO MYP Language B Guide, September 2006/January 2007)
