Welcome to Spanish 1!

This page provides specific content-related information for Albert's Spanish 1 course, including how it is organized, how to find questions using standards or tags, and ideas for classroom uses. If you need technical assistance, please visit our Help Center or contact hello@albert.io.

Spanish 1 is designed to target Novice Low and Novice Mid levels of proficiency. It is organized by content themes and further broken down into topics.

Our full Spanish 1 subject guide is designed to include 9 themes:

Each theme contains a range of specific topics based on Spanish vocabulary, grammar, reading exercises, and listening exercises. For example, here are some topics within the La comida y los pasatiempos theme:

Spanish 1 includes a total of 18 Free Response Questions. For each theme listed above, students have access to Interpersonal and Presentational Writing Prompts to practice and assess their Spanish language writing skills.

All Albert questions are aligned to state standards relevant to the subject matter. As well as, the ACTFL World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages.

This standards-alignment provides another easy way to find useful questions besides the Theme and Topic organization. Using the Standards button at the top left corner of any subject page, you can filter for just your state’s standard set then simply search for your state’s standards to find all questions in our course library aligned to that standard! For more details, please see this article in our Help section. This course also includes Albert’s own Albert Modern Language Umbrella Standards which can also be used to search for content.

In addition to searching by the standards’ names, you can also search by their content! Simply type in a few words from the standard description to see all relevant standards pertaining to that content.

Albert’s Spanish 1 course includes 46 types of tags, vocabulary, skill, and grammar. These are words or phrases that provide information about what a question covers, such as family or regular-present-tense. Tags provide another easy way to search for relevant content in our course library. Simply search using the Tags button at the top left corner of any guide level.

Spanish 1 uses 6 question types to test students’ understanding of content and provide meaningful practice of important skills.
