A world language is a hardto-refuse-invitation to explore cultures and communicate with peoples of the world. A world language promotes cultural awareness and human understanding which in turn can encourage international harmony. A world language can prepare you to be a productive citizen of the world. Our world language classes emphasize the 5-Cs of the National Forigen Language curriculum:

Communication: Interpersonal, Interpretative and Presentational (listening, speaking, reading, writing) Cultures: Exploration Connections to other disciplines and viewpoints Comparisons Community interaction within and beyond the classroom setting COURSE DESCRIPTION
In this second-semester foundational course, students will advance their ability to apply four language skills -- listening, speaking, writing, and reading -- in order to expand their ability to communicate at a basic level by exchanging, interpreting, and presenting information; to compare Hindi-speaking cultures' practices, perspectives, and products to students' own cultures; to connect the Hindi language to other relevant disciplines; and to expand their use of the Hindi language outside of the classroom in limited contexts. Content and supporting language structures and vocabulary that support it will be theme-based, with outcomes measured in a variety of ways, including task-based activities that support effective communication around the theme.

Text and Required Materials:

The World Languages team engages in a conscientious process when considering books for each language program. Some of the aspects that are considered during the process include cost, relevance, suitability for the subject matter and the variety of resources offered for the students. Your instructor may or may not choose to read or complete book activities during class time; however, you as a student are expected to use your book as a study resource, practice tool, and to prepare for lessons. Please, be advised that buying materials separately might incur extra costs such a buying current accompanying online codes and/or shipping and handling fees. If at any time during the semester you have any questions as to how the book material relates to what you are learning in class, do not hesitate to ask your instructor who will be happy to help you identify in your book the themes and language structures that you are studying in class.

Grading Policy: Attendance and Participation: 10 % Exams (2 major exams): 30 % Quizzes: 20 % Lab: 20 % Homework: 10 % Project Presentation: 10 % Lab Requirements:
For Integrated Lab- Fifty minutes per week will be used as Lab time. This time is dedicated to practicing language being learned in class through activities with other students, with the teacher, and with online or other media. Lab activities focus on practicing speaking (expressive) skills and listening comprehension (receptive skills), with writing and reading activities to complement and support the speaking and listening. Lab is activity-based and may include games, skits, conversation, dialogues, interviews, music, videos, presentations, dictations, and other activities. The lab part of the course is especially designed to practice, practice, practice And then practice some more! There will be a minimum of 2 oral (expressive) exams given during Lab during the semester and a final oral (expressive) Lab exam at the end of the semester. Lab counts as 20% of this class grade.

CLASS POLICIES
Students with Disability:
Students with documented disabilities are encouraged to register with the Student Support Services Program (SSSP), or Disability Support Services (DSS). Any student who may need an accommodation due to a disability, please make arrangements to meet with the course instructor as soon as possible, preferably during office hours. A memo from Disability Support Services or Student Support Services authorizing accommodations might be needed

Attendance:
Attendance is vital. Since attendance is considered as part of Active Participation students need to be on time and present for classes. Absences and tardiness will result in lowering the grade for Active participation. Students who do not miss more than 3 days of class in a semester, and who arrive promptly and remain for the entire class session, have the best opportunities to earn the highest grades in this class. In order to simply remain eligible to pass this course, you must be present for fully 75% of the class sessions, and therefore, students who for any reason miss more than 25% of the class sessions by absence and lateness will receive an F. If a situation arises that interferes with regular class attendance over an extended period of time (for example, prolonged illness, personal or work problems), you may need to drop the course or see an advisor about your options for withdrawal.

COURSE OBJECTIVES AND GOALS

Students Can:
Share and obtain information: Express opinions and needs: Describe and react to situations:

HCC POLICY: ACADEMIC HONESTY

Academic Honesty As stated in the Howard Community College Website: http://www.howardcc.edu/academichonesty "Academic honesty is important to Howard Community Colleges mission and vision, and students are encouraged to know about it, practice it in their work, and encourage it in fellow students. HCC recognizes the development of ethical judgment as an integral part of ones education and [HCC] supports the integration of ethical issues into the core curriculum (College Catalogue). Therefore, students are expected to not only learn about ethics but also to do ethical work at HCC." Please review the student handbook policy on academic honesty. We consider any breach of academic honesty serious and it will impact the students grade. All work in language classes MUST be the students work. Use of on-line or other electronic translators is prohibited (except when it is instructor initiated and/ or when assignment instructions explicitly ask for the use of such). All work for this class must be students own work without any help from native speakers. (Except when the homework indicates that student may use help from native speaker). When information is used from the internet, it must be cited; no extensive quoting from internet sources is acceptable and all work is subject to being reviewed by a cheat site detector.

Snow/Bad Weather:
If HCC will be opening late and there is more than 30 minutes of time left of a scheduled class at the late opening time, that particular class will meet for the remainder of the class time. If HCC will be closing early and there will be more than 30 minutes of time available for a scheduled class before HCC closes, that particular class will meet during the available time. If HCC is closed for the entire class period, all assignments, quizzes, tests, and exams scheduled for that day will be due the following class period. Call (443) 772-4800 or check the colleges website www.howardcc.edu to confirm if HCC is closed or not- we do not follow Howard County Public Schools closings.

SYLLABUS
This syllabus may be subject to change. Students will be notified in advance of important changes that could affect grading, assignments, etc.

HOW TO SUCCEED
When you attend class, youre part of the way there. Attendance and participation are essential to learning a language. The more you use the language, the more you will become proficient. This requires time spent outside of class as well as actively participating in class activities. Homework assignments help you prepare for class, but it is up to you supplement assignments with practice and resources that will help you personally. Many resources are available. If you want extra practice, or have questions or any confusion, be willing to ask questions in class and/or outside of class.
