Open Educational Resources and the Spanish Transfer Model Curriculum

Indicated resources listed below are samples. Find a complete curated collection of OER (including descriptions and other comments) for the discipline at Open Educational Resources and Spanish.  Please note that the structure presented here aligns with the Spanish TMC. While all local Associate Degrees for Transfer will consist of some version of the Core Courses, the TMC introduces flexibility with respect to “List A”, as well as the options colleges provide to students who need courses to substitute for units they placed out of. If you are using OER to teach courses in your local Spanish ADT that are not listed at Open Educational Resources and Spanish or on this page,  please let us know what OER you are using.

“Core” Courses

Local departmental placement evaluation determines the course level where individual students begin the core courses. Credit or placement equivalent to two years of college level Spanish are required. If a student places out of any course and is not awarded units for that course, the student will have to take additional units to compensate for the course/units needed to reach at least 18 total units in the major (per Title 5 regulations). Course substitutions are made at the discretion of the local college and may or may not be delineated in the local degree. Suggested substitutions include courses in List A. Additional suggested substitutions have also been provided below.

Elementary Spanish I (C-ID SPAN 100) and Elementary Spanish II (C-ID SPAN 110)

Intermediate Spanish I (C-ID SPAN 200) or Spanish for Heritage Speakers I (C-ID SPAN 220)

Some resources above are applicable.

Intermediate Spanish II (C-ID SPAN 210) or Spanish for Heritage Speakers II (C-ID SPAN 230)
