Course Planning 

 

Course Planning

The ENFOQUES program was developed keeping in mind the need for flexibility and manageability in a wide variety of academic situations. The following sample course plans illustrate how ENFOQUES can be used in courses on a semester or quarter system. You should, of course, feel free to organize your courses in the way that best suits your students’ needs and your instructional goals.


2-Semester System

The following chart shows how ENFOQUES can be completed in a 2-semester course. In terms of verb tenses, the division of material allows for the presentation of the present indicative tense, the present progressive tense, the preterite, the imperfect, the future, the conditional, the present and past subjunctive, and the present and past perfect tenses in the first semester. The second semester covers the passive voice, the future and conditional perfect tenses, and the present and past perfect subjunctive. Overall, the materials are organized into two balanced segments, which provide ample time for reading, class discussion, pair and group work, and writing.
