Daily activities in Spanish 1 revolve around the 4 skills of language; Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing:

Listening to the instructor and recordings in Spanish, often in fast, conversational tones. Students must understand enough to answer questions with no other resources.
Speaking to practice and demonstrate mastery of specific sounds and structures of the language. Assessment is performed daily and by formal and informal presentation, without use of notes.
Reading words, sentences and authentic texts, advertisements, and articles. As students build their knowledge of vocabulary and sentence structure, readings become more complex and content more cultural.
Writing many words, exercises, and paragraphs in Spanish and in English. Students put acquired vocabulary and sentence structure to work in their own words. Any translations used are expected to follow rules of grammar in Spanish or in English, depending on the direction of the translation.
