The United States must educate students who are equipped linguistically and culturally to communicate successfully in a pluralistic American society and abroad. This imperative envisions a future in which all students will develop and maintain proficiency in English and at least one other language.” To support this goal the CSHS World Language Department will use rubics based on the American Council for the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) Performance toward Proficiency Guidelines (http://www.actfl.org/sites/default/files/pdfs/public/ACTFLProficiencyGuidelines2012_FINAL.pdf )  Spanish 3/4 Performance Objectives (subject to revision as course progresses) Silvestri Office Hours: Thursday 2:10 – 3:00  1.

Evidence of copying entire sentences and paragraphs from reference works or internet sites calls into question the integrity of the entire assignment and renders its origin as suspect. “Working together” with classmates, which results in identical work with identical errors being turned in, will be considered plagiarism. Any assignment showing any evidence of plagiarism will receive a grade of zero and may not be redone. o o Talking, look at another’s paper, allowing another to look at your paper, having a cheat sheet, using a cell phone (texting), or calculator, etc. during a test are all considered cheating.

o The use of online or electronic translators to complete assignments is considered cheating. Any evidence of the use of an online translator calls into question the integrity of the entire assignment and renders its origin as suspect. Any assignment showing any evidence of use of an electronic translator will receive a grade of zero and may not be redone. Note, use of these items for translation of ONE WORD items is acceptable. However, caution should be used. * Thanks to Bill Heller for allowing me to use this definition. o o 4. Assignments: Learning a second language in the classroom is a difficult task due to the limited amount of time available to the student to practice the target language and the material covered.

Be advised that each department, which assigns extended projects, has specific deadline dates.
