Spanish for Heritage Speakers SPAN 203 FALL 2009
Students who take this course must: 1) Speak Spanish as language of heritage, but have a limited ability (and/or confidence) in their language skills in Spanish; and 2) have placed into SPAN112 or above.
Emphasis is placed on the following: development of linguistic strategies that advance students’ written and oral expression beyond the colloquial level; grammatical and orthographic norms of Spanish; critical reading (reading for understanding and analyzing what is read); and expansion of vocabulary. The linguistic work will be conducted through course materials that explore, through a variety of literary and nonliterary texts, the use of Spanish in the United States.
This is a POI course not offered every year. Professor Ana Pérez-Gironés, MWF 11:00-11:50 a.m. in FISK414.
