The prescribed textbook sequence will be the primary framework for topics and grammatical sequence; however, this is flexible depending on the extent of explanation or coverage necessary in each unit. Individual WORKBOOK exercises will be required for each unit.

Background explanation and cultural information will be introduced in each unit. Students will have practice in using grammatical structures and expressing ideas. Listening activities will be part of each lesson. You will be monitored each class on your comments and input about the topic. Follow-up review outside of class is necessary.
