COURSE DESCRIPTION the AP Spanish Language and Culture Curriculum Presents Six Primary Learning Ob AP SPANISH CURRICULUM 2014 I- COURSE DESCRIPTION The AP Spanish Language and Culture Curriculum presents six primary learning objectives areas within the three modes of communication described by the Standards for Foreign Language Learning in the 21st Century: Interpersonal, Interpretive, and Presentational. These six primary learning objective areas identify what students should know and be able to do across the three modes. Below you can see the definitions for the three modes and the list of primary learning objective areas. Three Modes of Communication: • The Interpersonal Mode is characterized by the active negotiation of meaning among students. Students observe and monitor one another to see how their meanings and intentions are being communicated. Adjustments and clarifications can be accordingly. • The Interpretive Mode focuses on the appropriate cultural interpretation of meanings that occur in written and spoken form where there is no recourse to active negotiation of meaning with the writer or the speaker. • The Presentational Mode refers to the creation of oral and written messages in a manner that facilitates interpretation by members of the other culture where no direct opportunity for the active negotiation of meaning between members of the two cultures exists. Six Primary Learning Objective Areas: • Spoken Interpersonal Communication • Written Interpersonal Communication • Audio, Visual, and Audiovisual Interpretive Communication • Written and Print Interpretive Communication • Spoken Presentational Communication • Written Presentational Communication II- OUTLINE OF COURSE PCTI Curriculum Unit Planner Content Area: Advanced Placement Spanish Grade (s) 10, 11, 12 Unit Plan Title: Tema 1/Theme 1: Las familias y la comunidades/ Family and communities ▪ Customs and Values ▪ Education Communities ▪ Family Structure ▪ Global Citizenship ▪ Social Networking NJSL Standard(s) Addressed Interpretive Mode/Proficiency Level: Advanced Low 7.1.AL.A.1 Analyze and critique the validity of culturally authentic materials using electronic information and other sources related to targeted themes. 7.1.AL.A.2 Demonstrate comprehension of spoken and written language and nuances of culture, as expressed by speakers of the target language, in informal and some formal settings. 7.1.AL.A.3 Analyze the use of verbal and non-verbal etiquette in the target culture(s) and in one’s own culture to develop an understanding of how cultural perspectives are reflected in cultural products and cultural practices. 7.1.AL.A.4 Evaluate, from multiple cultural perspectives, the historical, political, and present-day contexts that connect or have connected famous people, places, and events from the target culture(s) with the United States. 7.1.AL.A.5 Evaluate information from oral and written discourse dealing with a variety of topics. 7.1.AL.A.7 Infer the meaning of some unfamiliar words and phrases in academic and formal contexts. 7.1.AL.A.8 Analyze elements of the target language that do not have a comparable linguistic element in English.

  • Bernal Diaz the True History of the Conquest of New Spain. Document 2
    Document 1: Bernal Diaz The True History of the Conquest of New Spain. Let us state how most of the Indian natives have successfully learned all the Spanish trades…There are gold and silversmiths…and carvers also do the most beautiful work with iron tools…Many sons of chieftains know how to read and write, and to compose books…Now they breed cattle of all sorts, and break in oxen, and plough the land, and sow wheat, and thresh harvest, and sell it, and make bread, and they have planted their lands with all the trees and fruits, such as apples and pears which they hold in higher regard than their native plants, which we have brought from Spain. To what extent does this passage portray the concept of cultural diffusion? ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ What was the effect of European conquest on native populations? ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ Document 2: Hernán Cortés Excerpt of Letter to Charles V They have a custom, horrible, and abominable, and deserving punishment…Whenever they ask anything of their gods, in order for their request to be fulfilled, they take many boys, girls, men, and women, and in the presence of the statues of their gods they cut open their chests. While they are still alive they take out their hearts and entrails. Then they burn the organs, offering the smoke as a sacrifice to their gods…No year passes in which they do not kill and sacrifice 50 souls at each temple in their kingdom… I did everything I could to steer them away from their false gods and to draw them to our Lord God.

  • Surnames: a New Source for the History of Social Mobility
    Surnames: a New Source for the History of Social Mobility Gregory Clark, Neil Cummins, Yu Hao, Dan Diaz Vidal1 This paper explains how surname distributions can be used as a way to measure rates of social mobility in contemporary and historical societies. This allows for estimates of social mobility rates for any population for which the distribution of surnames overall is known as well as the distribution of surnames among some elite or underclass. Such information exists, for example, for England back to 1300, and for Sweden back to 1700. However surname distributions reveal a different, more fundamental type of mobility than that conventionally estimated. Thus surname estimates also allow for measuring a different aspect of social mobility, but the aspect that matters for mobility of social groups, and for families in the long run. KEYWORDS: Social Mobility, intergenerational correlation, status inheritance Introduction: Social Mobility Concepts We assume social status can be measured by a cardinal number y which measures some aspect of social status such as income, wealth, occupational status, longevity or height. Conventionally social mobility rates have been estimated by economists from the estimated value of β in the equation = + + (1) 푦푡 훼 훽푦푡−1 푢푡 where y is the measure of social status, t indexes the generation, and ut is a random shock. β will typically lie between 0 and 1, with lower values of β implying more social mobility. β is thus the persistence rate for status, and 1- β the social mobility rate. Also if the variance of status on this measure is constant across generations then β is also the intergenerational correlation of status.

Chief of Mission Priorities Miguel Diaz-Canel was appointed president of Cuba, replacing his mentor, Raul Castro, on April 19, 2018, and since then, there has been no easing of the Castros’ authoritarian governance. From his position as head of the Cuban Communist Party, which holds supreme political power, Raul Castro acts as the final authority on all policy matters. Diaz-Canel continues to affirm publicly that he is committed to continuity in both domestic and foreign affairs. This also reaffirms that there will be no deviation from Castro policies. Diaz-Canel’s presidency aspires to evoke the symbolism of a younger generation that did not participate in the Cuban revolution, but his first months in power have been marked by tighter autocratic rule, designed to “protect the Revolution.” Cuba’s economic performance continues

  • AP Spanish Language
    AP Spanish Language Course Overview The main objective of the AP Spanish Language course is to develop students' interpersonal communication skills in Spanish and to prepare the students for the AP Language examination. The fundamental objective is for the students to achieve a high level of ability in listening, speaking, reading and writing. In this course students develop a strong command of the Spanish language, with proficiency in integrating language skills and synthesizing written and aural materials, the formal writing process, extensive interpersonal and presentational speaking and writing practice, and aural comprehension skills through quality, authentic, and level-appropriate audio and video recordings. Students are exposed to literature, historical and current events of Spanish- speaking countries through authentic newspapers and magazines, music, movie, radio and television productions, literary texts, and virtual visits online. Students will also use Spanish to access information and to compare and contrast cultural elements of Spanish-speaking countries with their own. This course includes continuous integration of language skills (reading, writing, listening, speaking) with a rigorous review of grammatical structures. Therefore, the students must not only be aware of the considerable amount of work required by the course, but they must also have a high level of motivation and interest to use the language out of class. It is imperative that the students read, write, hear and speak the target language in class and out of class. Course Requirements Prerequisites: · 3-4 years of Spanish or equivalent · Recommended for qualified AP students Course Description: Listening and speaking ± (Interpersonal, presentational and interpretative modes) are integral parts of this class.

  • Building a Spanish Surname List for the 1990'S
    Technical Working Paper No. 13 TECHNICAL WORKING PAPER NO. 13 March 1996 Building a Spanish Surname List for the 1990’s— A New Approach to an Old Problem by David L. Word and R. Colby Perkins Jr. Population Division U. S. Bureau of the Census Washington D.C. The data and results appearing in this working paper were originally introduced at the Annual Meeting of the Population Association of America (PAA) Miami, Florida May 1994. The views expressed in this paper are solely attributable to the two authors and do not necessarily reflect the position of the United States Bureau of the Census. U.S. Census Bureau March 1996 Technical Working Paper No. 13 i ABSTRACT The United States Census Bureau produced and released Spanish surname products for 1950, 1960, 1970 and 1980. This 1990 version is another way station in an ongoing research journey. This pa- per, “Building a Spanish Surname List for the 1990’s—A New Approach to an Old Problem,” differs from its predecessors in two significant respects. (1) Until 1990, name has never been part of a permanent Census electronic record. Following the 1990 Census, the Census Bureau appended name to 7 million Census records for the purposes of determining undercount. The “List” is constructed by tabulating the responses (surname by surname) to the Spanish origin question for persons in that sample. Well over 90 percent of male householders with the surnames: GARCIA, MARTINEZ, RODRIGUEZ, and LOPEZ responded affirmatively to the Spanish origin question while less than 1.0 percent of male householders named SMITH, JOHNSON, and BROWN provided a positive response to the Spanish origin question.

DESCRIPTORS Bilingual Education Programs; *Cubans; Day Care Centers; Dropout Rate: *Educational Needs; Financial Aid Applicants; *Health Needs; *Hispanic Americans; Hypertension; Language Proficiency; *Needs Assessment; Retraining; Teachers; Transportation; *Welfare Services ABSTRACT The research described in this report identifies the major health, education, and welfare-related needs of Cuban Americans as defined by directors of Cuban community service organizations and Cuban beneficiary populations in the selected urban areas of Miami/Dade County, Union City/West New York, New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago. Data from questionnaires administered to the samples are analyzed through use of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Although the findings differ slightly from area to area, in general the findings are as follows: (1)In education, Cuban teachers are underrepresented in educational institutions, Cuban dropout rates are increasing, financial aid programs and bilingual education programs are being underutilized, and public child care is inadequate. (2)In the social services, language and transportation problems increase service problems. (3) Language barriers, cost, and location factors influence the use of health services; hypertension and nonalcholic cirrhosis ratesare higher for Cubans than for other groups. Overall, the data show that, although Cubans as a group have adjusted quickly to American society, many Cubans experience the social difficulties and problems characteristic of immigrants.
