COURSE DESCRIPTION

At the end of the semester, students will be able to recognize approximately 500 words and, when elicited, will produce up to 250 words.
Most oral ability will consist of individual words, lists, or memorized idiomatic expressions. Words may appear in conjunction with articles and adjectives, properly modified (morphology.)
Short sentences will contain conjugated verbs (syntax.) Students will be able to interact with simple sentences about common topic and situations.
 Writing ability will allow students to produce simple descriptions and create simple three/four-line dialogues on familiar topics.
Grammar/syntax knowledge will include basic grammatical categories (articles/prepositions/nouns/adjectives,) basic morphology (gender and number), subject-verb agreement, present tense of all three conjugations in addition to several essential irregular verbs.
