This first-year Arabic course is designed for students who desire not only to learn spoken Arabic, but also to learn to write in Arabic and learn about the Arabic culture. During the first semester, students learn to pronounce the sounds of the Arabic language and write its letters, as well as learning introductions and greetings, common phrases, and basic vocabulary. In the second semester, students will continue listening to spoken Arabic as a model for their own pronunciation, practicing putting together phrases with proper pronunciation, and reading and writing in Arabic. These studies will be reinforced using drills and instructor-led activities to reinforce grammar and vocabulary. Students will evaluate Arabic cultures and the origin of Islam from a Christian perspective. Students will be encouraged to use the required DVDs for listening exercises and writing drills. Students will be expected to do approximately three hours of homework each week, which includes memorizing vocabulary and Scripture in Arabic, learning new grammar concepts, and reviewing concepts from previous lessons. Small-group work will also be assigned most weeks to encourage language practice outside of class. There will be one lesson quiz per week, a test at the end of each chapter, and a final exam at the end of the year. This course will implement the use of audio files for homework as needed, so students must have a working microphone and be able to make audio files to upload to the teacher (instructions provided). This course uses the AL Kitaab Arabic Language Program with DVDs. Level 1 will study Alif Baa - Introduction to Arabic Letters and Sounds, 3rd Edition. 

**For students living in the Middle-East, optional interactive assignments will be given to complete in a small-group setting with other Arabic-speakers.

This course builds on the foundational knowledge learned in Arabic 1 by introducing a greater emphasis on learning through listening to spoken Arabic and beginning to speak in simple sentences. Students are encouraged to focus on the meaning of phrases and sentences, rather than individual words, thereby enriching the student’s learning by giving them a deeper and more complete understanding of Arabic sentence structure and vocabulary. By the end of this course, students should be able to read simple texts on familiar topics, speak about themselves, initiate and sustain basic conversation on day-to-day topics, and increase their ability to write paragraphs on familiar topics with greater accuracy. In addition to the lessons in the text, this course will be enhanced through memorizing Bible verses and through a brief study on the history of the Christian church in the Middle East. Students should expect to spend approximately three to five hours per week on homework, complete a short quiz every class, and take an exam after each term. Upon successful completion of this course, students should have achieved solid intermediate proficiency in Arabic. This course requires the second edition of the AL-Kitaab fii Ta'allum al- Arabiyya, Part 1 textbook and the accompanying DVDs.

Do you wish to increase your marketability in this era of globalization and communicate with more than half of the world's population by picking up the world’s new second language? Then this introductory course in Mandarin Chinese is for you! Focus will be placed on developing basic communicative skills, including relevant cultural highlights.

During the second semester, students will be paired up with an actual Chinese “e-pen-pal” living in China with whom they can practice and improve competences in self-directed learning and intercultural communication. Outside of the weekly class, students will be expected to complete several hours of work (one hour daily), including but not limited to memorization of short phrases of scriptures or prayers in Chinese. Students in this course will also complete a lesson quiz at the end of each chapter, a cumulative mid-term and a final exam.

This multi-faceted course is designed to help students grow in their ability to read, write, speak, and understand Spanish. Weekly homework relies heavily on learning and practicing grammar by reading and writing, as well as listening to and speaking with the audio CDs. The goal of class time is to provide a lively, interactive environment for answering student questions, teaching and reviewing important concepts, and speaking and listening to each other. Each week there is a variety of activities designed to reinforce and deepen mastery of the concepts we learn and increase confidence in using the language. For this reason, class attendance and participation are vital. We also discuss various ways to use Spanish for God's kingdom as we discuss and memorize passages of Scripture. Reviewing and building on TPS Spanish 1, this course introduces several new tenses and grammatical concepts and teaches 35 thematic vocabulary units. We will also be reading a short comic mystery during the second semester.  The course requires some parent grading each week from a provided answer key.

This ambitious course is designed to reinforce, strengthen, and advance a student's ability to express and understand Spanish in written and spoken forms.  With a thorough, challenging textbook and regular in-class instruction, we study Spanish grammar at a high level and spend time learning some of the common expressions and uses that are not typically found in books.  Using weekly vocabulary lists and activities, this course challenges students to learn and retain an extensive, practical vocabulary for use in a wide range of everyday situations.  To build comprehension skills, students will be required to complete at-home listening assignments. A portion of the weekly class time will be dedicated to teaching concepts and answering student questions, with the rest of the time spent in interactive participation designed to increase ease and effectiveness in realistic language situations. The instructor will facilitate Spanish conversations and discussions on a variety of issues, including passages of Scripture and Christian living, to consciously sharpen both minds and Spanish skills for service in God's kingdom.

One session of foreign language instruction a week is good for some, but not optimal for others.  Do you feel that your TPS Spanish student would benefit from more review of the vocabulary taught in the weekly lesson, more time to ask questions, and more opportunity to practice conversational skills to promote mastery?  Then make the most of your student’s Spanish language learning experience by participating in this language lab! "Spanish Conversations" is a 90-minute weekly session intended to be taken along-side any section of TPS JH Spanish 2 or HS Spanish 1 to provide students with a second weekly time of live interaction and conversation with the instructor and other students.  The goal of this additional class is to enrich students' Spanish studies just as they have learned enough vocabulary in their first-year class to begin conversing in Spanish with one another, so it will be offered during the second-semester only.  Students will use vocabulary taught in their JH Spanish 2 or HS Spanish 1 class to practice conversing with one another and to reinforce Spanish grammar understanding.  Using pictures, cartoons, newspaper articles, and language websites, students will engage for 90 minutes with classmates in Spanish.  No new material will be presented and no additional outside work is required.  Students may choose either instructor for this lab, as both are working in collaboration to provide this exciting language experience.  Students are required to have a working mic.  If this twice-a-week format is better for your student, don't miss this opportunity to turn your one-session-per-week course into a two-session-per-week course!

  Learning a language is much more than memorizing vocabulary and analyzing grammar—it is a living, vibrant, challenging study, requiring regular practice and realistic interaction for success.  Spanish Conversations is designed to provide exactly that opportunity!  The 90-minute class time is devoted entirely to role-plays, discussions, grammar review, pronunciation practice, and vocabulary rehearsal, all in a lively, low-pressure environment.  Created as a reinforcing supplement to our fast-paced, ambitious HS Spanish classes, these classes present no new material, and there are no required textbooks or homework assignments.  Students will receive constructive, encouraging, personalized feedback, but there is no formal grading.  This class is perfect for those in HS Spanish 2 or 3 who need extra time to become more fluid and confident.  Don’t miss out on this chance to enhance your student’s Spanish skills, improving his or her performance in the regular graded class and increasing his or her ability to use Spanish outside of the classroom.
