Grading

Listening comprehension is the first step in natural language acquisition. As students understand what they hear, they begin to produce utterances provided they feel comfortable. To help students become accustomed to speaking, they will be encouraged to use gestures and the target language to communicate whenever possible.

Because they are so closely linked, the "Listening" and "Use of Target Language" categories are combined for grading purposes. They are heavily weighted due to their importance in language acquisition.

Listening/Use of Target Language 30%

Quizzes/Tests/Projects 40%

Homework 20%

Participation 10%
