Needs Assessment What is the learning problem or opportunity? After completing Spanish I, the student will be able to communicate ( read, write, and comprehend) using the Spanish language. 2. What is currently available? There is no foreign language class available. What should be available? Foreign language classes should be available. 4. Explain the gap analysis between what is available and what should be available. Since there is no foreign language class available the students are not being able to welcome diversity within their jobs. What is your recommended solution for filling the gap? The University should make sure the Hispanic culture is represented through the faculty, staff, and student body. Instructional Plan Template | Slide 2

Instructional Goal After completing Spanish I, the student will be able to communicate ( read, write, and comprehend) using the Spanish language. Instructional Plan Template | Slide 3

Write an essay/letter using the Spanish language. Comprehend a conversation spoken in the Spanish language. Respond to anyone using the Spanish language. Instructional Plan Template | Slide 4

Learner Characteristics A college Spanish class with 10 men and 15 women. Test scores of the class range from 5% below average, 15% average, and 15% above average. Majority of students learn through auditory learning. What are the implications to your instructional plan based on these characteristics? The implication is that majority of the students are motivated learners and will be able to hear and identify phonemes of the Spanish language. Instructional Plan Template | Slide 6

Learning Context Spanish I is only offered in the traditional classroom setting. The information learned in this course will allow the student to work with a company that wants to welcome diversity within the company and among the customers. Instructional Plan Template | Slide 7

Delivery Modality Spanish I is an instructor led course. The instructor will lead an individual/group to learn the Spanish language and culture. The instructor is knowledgeable of the Spanish language and culture. In this ILC the students will be able to ask questions and receive feedback immediately and the facilitator will be able to accommodate students as needed. Instructional Plan Template | Slide 8

Instructional Strategies The students of Spanish I will begin the course with learning the pronunciation of the Spanish alphabet. Then, the students will be required to learn nouns, numbers, adjectives and verbs. The lessons for this course will be taught through interactive instruction. Students will learn from the instructor and their peers. The interactive instruction strategies that will be used in Spanish I includes peer discussion, peer interviews, and role playing. These strategies will help the learner understand the pronunciation of the Spanish Alphabet. If the students do not master this, the remaining of the lessons will be difficult. Instructional Plan Template | Slide 9

Plan for Implementation Spanish I will begin January 6, 2014 and end April 14, 2014. On the main campus; building 3 room 2. The class will meet three times a week: Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays for an hour ( 10:00 am-11:00 am). There will be one facilitator for the course. The following materials will be provided for the instructor: speakers for the smart board, teacher edition of the textbook Spanish 101, copies of the pronunciation of the Spanish Alphabet, and the list of useful websites. Instructional Plan Template | Slide 10

Plan for Implementation II I will meet with the instructors prior to class to discuss the expectations for the course. I will meet them in the same room the class will be held. All materials and equipment will be used to demonstrate my expectations and to make sure everything is working correctly. I will meet with the instructors again March 4 and after class ends. I will always make sure my participants ( chosen through the regular admission process) are apart of any future decision made concerning the course. Instructional Plan Template | Slide 11

Instructional Resources (After reading the information below, delete and insert your information.) Spanish 101 textbook and a smart board with speakers will be needed to teach the course. Instructional Plan Template | Slide 12

Formative Assessment Questioning: asking questions in Spanish and expecting a response in Spanish will demonstrate the knowledge of the student. Visual Representations: allowing the students to draw a comic strip with characters having a conversation in Spanish. Exit Ticket: students have to share/write what they learned in the class that day. Instructional Plan Template | Slide 13

Formative Assessment 4. Interactive Whiteboard: students could match English words with Spanish words using the whiteboard. 5. Translate Worksheet: Students will be given a paragraph written in Spanish and have to translate into the English language or vice versa. Instructional Plan Template | Slide 14

Evaluation Strategies I will evaluate Spanish I three times using student surveys. The surveys will be given on the first day of class, 7th week of class, and the last day of class. The students will have to bubble in “yes”, or “no”. Example questions will include: Did the instructor meet your expectations? Would like to be part of a committee to implement new instructional ideas. Did you find the information meaningful? Instructional Plan Template | Slide 15

Outcome Review I will use a rubric as a scoring guide. Instructional Plan Template | Slide 16

Recommendations I expect for the students to suggest that Spanish I is offered twice week, but for an hour and a half. I expect for this to be an issue because most students prefer not to attend class on Friday. Instructional Plan Template | Slide 17
