Congratulations, Warrne, on getting your admin to listen to you and/or to be so 
responsive. Es mejor para sus estudiantes, sin duda.

Thanks, everyone. Full year 55 min. classes it is!

All language classes at our public high school are now yearlong, though we were 
on a trimester schedule for 12 years that meant students had one trimester 
without a language class.

Our classes are typically ~60 minutes in length, though we have block periods 
every other week that last for about 1'45".

I'd strongly suggest that your administration consider the fallout from moving 
from full-year to one-semester-long language classes.

One and two are year long and 43 minutes.  Three, Four, Film, Culture and 
Conversation and AP are semester courses and are 90 minutes.  This works 
relatively well.

I used to teach 94-minute blocks and it would have been difficult for lower 
level students to stay only in Spanish for that long.  I taught more 
traditionally then and it was still a challenge some days.  Once they are in 
the higher levels it was fine except that then they would have semesters or 
even almost an entire year between one level and the next.

Semester long is tough if they are doing a year's worth in one semester.  
Sometimes they have months between semesters and forget a lot.

My guidance dept. is asking about switching from year to semester-long, I don't 
know what to do!

What do you do?

Thank you!
