SPAN 3011W - Spanish Grammar and Composition Workshop [WI]

(4 cr; Student Option; offered Every Fall & Spring)

Equivalent courses: was SPAN 3011 until 08-SEP-15, was SPAN 3021 until 17-JAN-12, ECDR 3011W (starting 27-MAY-14, was ECDR 3011 until 05-SEP-17), TLDO 3240 (starting 20-JAN-15)

SPAN 3011W will systematically expose students to a wide variety of fascinating literary texts loosely organized around the central theme of contemporary Spain. These literary source materials offer not only a panorama of the Spanish language but also an internal?sometimes intensely personal?vision of the dynamics of Spain's evolution from monarchy, to fascist dictatorship, to parliamentary democracy, sometimes within the context on continental civilization and culture. An equally key function of these texts is to provide a common basis for this course's discussion and conversation component affording each individual the opportunity to practice the oral expression of ideas ranging across a wide spectrum of topics from machismo, gender, and feminism to psychological obsession, transformation, the social construction of identities, and the function of memory. Besides reviewing and practicing the arts of reading and oral communication, students will be generating a series of original compositions with the goal of learning to write clear, accurate, formal prose in Spanish employing diverse rhetorical strategies. Students will likewise continue the development of their fundamental skills and perceptions as a critical reader, thinker, and analyst through the weekly equipos de redaccion (editing teams) and peer revision sessions that support this process-writing technique. Pass on any 3 of the 4 SPAN LPE sections (listening, reading, writing, or speaking); evidence of passing 3 sections must be provided to instructor during the first week of class.

SPAN 3015V - Honors: Spanish Composition and Communication [WI]

(4 cr; A-F or Audit; offered Every Fall & Spring)

Equivalent courses: was SPAN 3015H until 26-MAY-15, SPAN 3019W (ending 04-SEP-18), ECDR 3015W (starting 27-MAY-14, was ECDR 3015 until 22-MAY-17), VENZ 3015 (inactive, starting 03-SEP-13), ARGN 3015W (starting 03-SEP-13, was ARGN 3015 until 05-SEP-17, was ARGN 3007 until 24-MAY-10), SPAN 3015W (starting 04-SEP-12, ending 04-SEP-07, starting 07-SEP-04, was SPAN 3015 until 26-MAY-15), TLDO 3231 (starting 20-JAN-15)

In 3015V, we will be using basically the same Weekly Plan and Canvas site that is used in regular sections (Span 3015W) in our Department. The main difference between a regular and an honors 3015 section will not be the quantity of work expected of the students, but rather the quality expected, not only of them but also of the instructor and the instruction provided. The course integrates reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills. Classes are conducted in Spanish. When working with a truly committed group of students, as it is assumed honors students will be, the instructor can go more in depth when dealing with difficult Spanish texts or unfamiliar cultural and historical issues. Instead of aiming just for reading comprehension, we will analyze cultural issues and identify literary strategies while working at the same time with highly advanced grammatical structures. Exposing students to different approaches on Latin-American History and Cultures, the instructor will promote discussion and will ask challenging but realistic questions to help students make connections between literary works/essays presented in the textbook or short videos used in class. By understanding, analyzing, and connecting, students will develop not only their linguistic abilities but also their critical thinking and a better understanding of the Hispanic world, and, therefore, they will be able to reconsider their own ideas and form new ones. All that work and growth will fully prepare them for the Literature, Culture or Linguistic classes (31xx courses) they will take once they finish Spanish 3015V if they choose to continue with their Spanish Studies. The same criteria apply to the writing component of the course. In an honors class we will not simply try to avoid mistakes when writing a composition. Instead, students will be working on stretching their level farther by incorporating the grammatical structures learned through the readings and grammar lessons taught in class, and t

SPAN 3015W - Spanish Composition and Communication [WI]

(4 cr; Student Option; offered Every Fall & Spring)

Equivalent courses: was SPAN 3015 until 26-MAY-15, SPAN 3019W (ending 04-SEP-18), SPAN 3015V (starting 20-JAN-15, was SPAN 3015H until 26-MAY-15), ECDR 3015W (starting 27-MAY-14, was ECDR 3015 until 22-MAY-17), VENZ 3015 (inactive, starting 03-SEP-13), ARGN 3015W (starting 03-SEP-13, was ARGN 3015 until 05-SEP-17, was ARGN 3007 until 24-MAY-10), TLDO 3231 (starting 20-JAN-15)

Via a wide variety of fascinating contemporary texts, SPAN 3015W provides a lens into Hispanic civilizations and cultures, their past and present, and the global flows of ideologies, technology, media, and peoples that shape society and function as constant drivers of change. Throughout the course we may explore topics such as social and cultural legacies, racial capitalism, power/knowledge, and democracy in crisis. In SPAN 3015W, students will use their Spanish skills to analyze an assortment of authentic texts (literature, films, essays, podcasts, etc.), to talk with each other and native speakers, and to share their own experiences and ideas in writing. Students use their Spanish to delve into the history, cultures, and diversity of the Spanish-speaking world. As they do this, they revisit and refine specific structures known to pose a challenge to learners of Spanish. The first in a series of writing-intensive courses in the major and minor programs, Spanish 3015W focuses upon the acquisition of composition skills with an emphasis on the thesis-fronted, expository writing strategies (i.e. statistical report, literary interpretation, academic essay, etc.) essential for success in more advanced coursework in Spanish Studies. 3015W moves in the direction of a more advanced-level discourse by providing crucial critical and analytical writing experiences to students through the careful scrutiny of authentic Hispanic texts, the composition of three original essays, and the production of a writing portfolio prefaced by a self-evaluative essay (autorreflexion). Regular engagement with reading primary sources and writing about these materials is fundamental to the development of the writer's critical ?voice? and the attainment of a style and vocabulary usage appropriate to writing analytically about literary and other key sociocultural issues of the Hispanic world. Through the SPAN 3015W process writing program, students work together on a series of peer edits to help

SPAN 3019W - Composition and Communication for Spanish Speakers of the U.S [WI]

(4 cr; Prereq-Instructor consent (recommended SPAN 1004 Pass or SPAN LPE Pass); Student Option; offered Every Fall)

Students in this course will further develop the main linguistic skills taught in the foundational SPAN 1001-1004 sequence, modified appropriately for students born and/or raised in the US and who speak/spoke Spanish in the home. Instruction will target the linguistic forms and rhetorical organization necessary for the genres of narration, exposition, and comparison-contrast while exploring cultural texts. Through guided activities, students will identify their linguistic and communicative strengths and weaknesses and also steps that they can take to advance in their language development. This course may be used as a substitute for SPAN 3015W or SPAN 3011W, but cannot be used for both.

SPAN 3034 - Advanced Business Spanish

Business practices and texts will be examined from both cultural and linguistic perspectives. In Spanish 3034 you will learn about business forms of communication and practice the formal style necessary for business specific writing. Via a semester-long project, you will have a chance to develop a final project related to your own professional interests.

Language is the foundation of human society, but it?s much more than just a code used for communication. Language helps us shape our thoughts. It?s also the material we manipulate to create poetry and that we play with to produce humor. Even more, it is considered to be what truly makes us human. In this class we?ll learn the basics of the scientific study of language, also known as linguistics and answer some of these questions: How is meaning-making achieved through language? How does language work in the human brain? What does it mean to be bilingual Where did Spanish come from? How did it expand across the globe? Why are some aspects of Spanish hard for English speakers to learn? How do we use language to express our identities, and how can language influence how those identities are received and perceived? While we explore these questions, we will also learn the writing style and conventions that linguists use to express themselves. You will use these conventions to write a paper in which you explore a Spanish language related topic in depth.

SPAN 3211 - Interpreting Imperial Spain, 1492-1800

(3 cr; Prereq-A grade of C- or better in SPAN 3104W or SPAN 3104V or TLDO 3104W or ARGN 3104W or SPAN 3105W or SPAN 3105V or TLDO 3105W or SPAN 3107W or SPAN 3107V or TLDO 3107W; Student Option; offered Every Fall)

Equivalent courses: TLDO 3211 (starting 24-MAY-04)

The term ?Siglo de Oro? has been used historically in Spanish to describe the epoch of Spain?s imperial expansion in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Beginning in 1492, the Catholic Monarchs, Isabel, and Fernando consolidated Spanish power over the other kingdoms in Iberia, expelled the Jews, and began the conquest of the so-called ?New World.? The following years saw an influx and their kingdom became globally influential, eventually becoming a world empire. But, for whom was this a ?Golden Age?? In this class we will explore the historical, political, and social trends that shaped what it meant to be ?Spanish? and the territory thought of as ?Spain.? The definition of ?Spanish? was created in apposition to various Others?the various people and groups that were relegated to the lower echelons of the social hierarchy. Religion played an important role in the shaping of this identity. We will apply contemporary theories?such as those around forms of racism, classism, Othering?from the field of cultural studies to cultural and historical developments within the Spanish Golden Age. For example, being ?Spanish? was based in the idea of ?Cristianos viejos?/Old Christians (who had no trace of Muslim or Christian blood in their family lines). We will explore other peoples and groups in Spain/Iberia and their contributions to what would become the Spanish nation. Among the themes studied in class: ?rhetoric of difference, including the limpieza de sangre or notions of blood purity ?gender: what did it mean to be espa?ola? ?the Spanish colonies in the Americas and the people who lived there ?systems of power: Old Christians, nobility and conquerors ?the institutionalization of ?Spain? ?the subversive concept of the Baroque: Miguel de Cervantes against the ?State?

SPAN 3221 - Interpreting Colonial Latin America: Empire and Early Modernity

(3 cr; Student Option; offered Periodic Fall)

Equivalent courses: TLDO 3002 (starting 03-SEP-13)

The conquest and colonization of Latin America is a complex issue, which demands an interdisciplinary approach to achieve a better understanding of this multidimensional social conflict. The course examines the role of colonial discourse as producer of the epistemic colonial difference and explores the legacies of colonialism. Students will be expected to focus on and to think about the organizational mechanisms through which aural and visual practices mediate reality in Colonial Latin America. Furthermore, students will learn to be critical readers by considering how cultural texts may be historically determined and by exploring how individuals may shape a particular cultural theme in a variety of manners. The course will focus on critical readings and discussion of cultural artifacts, literary texts, and documents of Colonial Latin America. Studies will include material pertaining to the aural and visual production of the period, including European and indigenous accounts of the conquest, as well as indigenous, African, criollo, mestizo and women writings during the colony from an interdisciplinary perspective. Concentration will center on the textual strategies, topics, world views, motivations, projects, and expectations explicit or implicit in the texts, their significance at the time, and their importance for understanding the formation of what we know as Latin America today. The course also is devoted to the conquest of Latin America by analyzing the role of colonial discourse and the legacies of colonialism in the region. With cultural artifacts, texts and documents, students will deal with different theoretical approaches deriving from the humanities and the social sciences. Such interdisciplinary method will provide the tools, concepts, and strategic visions to carry on analytical tasks in class. All the work for the course, except for certain supplementary readings, will be in Spanish. Requirements will include preparation of assigned readings, presentati

SPAN 3222 - Interpreting Modern and Contemporary Latin America

(3 cr; Prereq-A grade of C- or better in SPAN 3104W or SPAN 3104V or TLDO 3104W or ARGN 3104W or SPAN 3105W or SPAN 3105V or TLDO 3105W or SPAN 3107W or SPAN 3107V or TLDO 3107W; Student Option; offered Every Spring)

Equivalent courses: TLDO 3222 (starting 24-MAY-04, was TLDO 3922 until 06-SEP-05)

The aim of this course is to organize a discussion around the issues of nation building and modernization in Latin America through the study of representative 19th- century authors. The selected materials are essential documents of their times, and often influential statements about the history, identity, and culture of the region. Through a close examination of essays, novels, short stories, poems, and other texts students can appreciate their cultural legacy and understand the socio-historical context and the intellectual forces that shaped Modern Latin America. Concentration will center on the textual strategies, topics, world views, motivations, projects, and expectations explicit or implicit in the texts, their significance at the time, and their importance for understanding the formation of what we know as Latin America today. The course also examines Modern Latin America by analyzing the role of political discourse and the legacies of colonialism in the region. With literary texts and documents, students will deal with different theoretical approaches deriving from the humanities and the social sciences. Such interdisciplinary method will provide the tools, concepts, and strategic visions to carry on analytical tasks in class. All the work for the course, except for certain supplementary readings, will be in Spanish. Requirements will include preparation of assigned readings, presentation of analytical and comprehensive tasks, class discussions, and a research project. The course provides training in analytical thinking and cultural critique of Modern Latin America, bringing a global perspective to our curriculum.

SPAN 3301 - Advanced Oral Proficiency Workshop

(3 cr; Student Option; offered Periodic Fall & Spring)

The main goal of this course is to advance students' oral proficiency in Spanish in a variety of genres of spoken discourse, including description, narration, argumentation, explanation, and hypothesizing. In addition, instruction will focus on developing the range of topics about which students can speak and the internal organization of discourse produced by students. These functions are characteristic of speakers at the advanced level of proficiency on the ACTFL scale. Students will engage in a variety of activities, among which are discussions, debates, oral presentations, and analysis of oral speech samples. Prereqs: Span 3104W, or 3105W, or 3107W AND Span 3211, or 3212, or 3221, or 3222, or 3502, or 3503, or 3510, or 3512, or 3701, or 3702, or 3703, or 3704, or 3706, or 3707, or 3730, or 3800, or 3910, or 3920, and oral interview required.

SPAN 3403 - Latino Immigration on US/Mexican Border [CIV]

(3 cr; Student Option; offered Periodic Summer)

This course takes place off campus, through an organization called "Border Links" that is located in Tucson and works with migrants. Students will experience firsthand many issues that directly affect the migrant journey and meet with many immigrants to hear their personal stories. In addition to learning the history of the situation on the border, students will take a tour of the border wall, visit neighboring communities that work with immigrants, do a legal immigration simulation, walk the migrant trails in the Sonoran Desert and leave water there with Humane Borders, go to a Operation Streamline Deportation Court hearing, visit migrants seeking political asylum in Florence Detention Center, talk with a leader in Southside Workers Center, meet with an author focusing on Border Patrol, and more. Themes explored in this course include the connection between the roots of emigration and the global economy of violence in Central America; human rights on the border; and issues immigrants face in the US such as immigrants living in the US with or without legal documents, detention and deportation and the work they are doing to make a more just immigration system. Students will gather information during their stay and create a presentation to be shown to people in Minnesota upon returning from the border.

SPAN 3505 - Health and Environmental Humanities through Latin American Literature, Art, and Film

(3 cr; Student Option; offered Periodic Fall & Spring)

This interdisciplinary course serves as an introduction to environmental and health humanities, delving into the intersections between these two fields of study. Our readings will primarily focus on how the humanities and the arts engage in discussions of the impact that environmental issues and the ecological crisis have on health, illness, and sanitary crisis. Through a collection of Latin American novels, short stories, essays, and films, we will explore the intricate connections between the human and the non-human, the impacts of environmental changes on individual and community health and well-being, and the exacerbation of social inequalities and violations of human and environmental rights in Latin America. Additionally, we will emphasize the struggles for resistance and transformation, acknowledging the interconnectedness of all forms of life. With a particular emphasis on the interplay between health and social and environmental justice, we will investigate how literature, documentary film, and art can contribute to these discussions and what we can learn from Latin American thinkers, writers, artists, and social activists. We will explore essential concepts and debates and analyze portrayals of illness, toxicity, degradation, extractivism, as well as various expressions of healing, communities of care, and the struggles and initiatives to interconnect medical and environmental humanities. We will also explore the role that literature, art, and film currently play (or potentially play) in the education of health professionals.

SPAN 3510 - Issues in Hispanic Cultures (Topics course)

Span 3512, conducted entirely in Spanish, will consider some of the relations between daily life and symbolic production in modern Latin America. We will begin by exploring the emergence of ways of naming and mapping the hemisphere: where/what is Latin America? What is the history of cultures and the movement of peoples that have given rise to what we imagine as Latin America today? What do we mean by such names as America, Hispanic, Latino, etc.? What is the relation between Latin America and Latino? What are different ways to explore cultural manifestations and products? Using film, documentaries, production of soap operas, the web, and other resources, we will go on to examine a series of topics from a historical perspective, including education, modernity, modernization, and identity formation.

SPAN 3603 - Jews and Muslims in Medieval Iberia [AH]

(3 cr; Student Option; offered Periodic Fall & Spring)

Equivalent courses: JWST 3603 (inactive), RELS 3719 (inactive)

Medieval Spain was the center of an Islamic caliphate in the eighth to the eleventh centuries, and Muslim kingdoms survived in Spain until the end of the fifteenth century. In this class we will explore how Spain?s Muslim past shaped the ideas and culture into the present and explore notions of race and nation as shaped by the presence of Muslims, Jews and Christians in medieval Spain. We will engage with contemporary debates about how to remember this period, as well as how to use and interpret this past, evident in the lived realities of Spaniards who encounter it everyday in the historic buildings and monuments present across Spain, as well as the international tour groups and scholars who visit. While today Spain is often associated with Catholicism, this class looks back to an earlier cultural moment and invites students to think about other possible ways of imagining religious identity and the nation. This class is in English, with select readings in Spanish for those with Spanish reading ability.

This course aims to provide you with an understanding of the basic concepts of phonetics and phonology and to teach you to apply these concepts to Spanish. The course will be both conceptual and practical. The practical component will involve using the concepts learned in class to improve your own pronunciation of Spanish. You will acquire skills in recognizing, producing, transcribing and describing in linguistic terms the sounds of Spanish and in understanding and analyzing the Spanish sound system. Consideration will also be given to the Spanish orthographical system as it relates to the sound system, variation in Spanish pronunciation among native speakers, and the challenges of a second language learner in acquiring the phonology of their second language.

SPAN 3702 - Structure of Spanish: Morphology and Syntax

(3 cr; Prereq-A grade of C- or better in SPAN 3104W or SPAN 3104V or TLDO 3104W or ARGN 3104W or SPAN 3105W or SPAN 3105V or TLDO 3105W or SPAN 3107W or SPAN 3107V or TLDO 3107W.; Student Option; offered Periodic Fall & Spring)

Equivalent courses: SPAN 3702H (inactive, was SPAN 3802 until 05-SEP-00)

This course is an introduction to the morphology and syntax of Spanish as a written language. The goal of the course is to improve written Spanish by understanding morphological and syntactic notions and developing the ability to syntactically analyze words and sentences. Consequently, much of the course work will be devoted to practice syntactic analysis of Spanish sentences taken from literary texts. We will first work with morphological analysis. Then we will proceed with syntactic analysis. We will start with the simple sentence. Then we will study morphological notions such as noun, adjective, and verb. After that we will tackle the analysis of complex constructions such as coordinate clauses and subordinate clauses.

SPAN 3703 - Origins and History of Spanish and Portuguese

(3 cr; Student Option; offered Periodic Fall & Spring)

This course constitutes an introduction to the origins and history of the Spanish language. Spanish (or Castilian) descends from Latin, which is also the ancestor of Portuguese, Italian, French, Romanian, among others. This is why we say bueno in Spanish, bon in French, buono in Italian, bom in Portuguese, and buna in Romanian. Also, Latin belongs to a wider group of languages: the Indo-European family, which also includes Sanskrit, English, German, and Russian, among others. For this reason, the word for the number two in English is similar to dos in Spanish, dvau in Sanscript, dva in Russian and zwei in German. In the course, we will see how Latin words changed to become Spanish words. These changes did not happen in a void. Therefore, in the first part of the course we will study the historical circumstances that caused the birth and expansion of Spanish. When Romans invaded the Iberian Peninsula there were other groups already there who lent some of their words to Latin. Celts occupied the northwestern portion of Spain, which is known as Galicia. Interestingly, the traditional musical instrument of Galicia is the bagpipe, as in Ireland and Scotland, which also have Celtic ancestors. Some Celtic words passed to the variety of Latin spoken in the Iberian Peninsula, and later to Spanish. Thus, while France and Italy utilize the Germanic word bier to designate beer: French biere, Italian birra, in Spanish we say cerveza, which comes from the Celtic word cerevisia. With the fall of the Roman Empire, Germanic tribes invaded the Iberian Peninsula. This is how some Germanic terms passed to Latin and eventually became Spanish. Since English is a Germanic language, these Spanish terms are similar to the English ones: spy espia, vandalism vandalismo, goose, ganso, etc. At the end of the Germanic rule, Arab groups invaded Iberia. As a result, Spanish has more than four thousand Arabic words, as ojala from inshallah `god willing?. The Arabs brought with them advances in as

Equivalent courses: SPAN 3704H (inactive, was SPAN 3804 until 05-SEP-00)

This course focuses on the study of the Spanish language in a variety of geographical and social contexts. We?ll examine the historical, social, and linguistic factors that have shaped the development of different varieties of the Spanish language in Spain, Latin America, Africa, and Asia, including contact with other languages and cultures. In addition, we will explore how social factors such as occupation, education, gender, age, and ethnicity influence the ways that Spanish is spoken. We?ll also examine language ideologies and linguistic attitudes toward different varieties of Spanish and explore the reasons that some varieties of Spanish seem to be valued more highly than others.

SPAN 3705 - Semantics and Pragmatics of Spanish

(3 cr; Prereq-grade of C- or better in SPAN 3104W or SPAN 3104V or TLDO 3104W or ARGN 3104W or SPAN 3105W or SPAN 3105V or TLDO 3105W or SPAN 3107W or SPAN 3107V or TLDO 3107W; Student Option; offered Periodic Spring)

Equivalent courses: SPAN 3705H (inactive, was SPAN 3805 until 05-SEP-00)

This pragmatics course deals with the social aspects of sense-making. Here you will learn how members of Spanish culture create meaning in oral and written exchanges. Meaning is not simply transmitted from speaker to audience but negotiated by the participants of the communicative interaction. You will learn how Spanish speakers deal with requests, refusals, compliments, advice, and apologies, and how they accommodate their discourse to their interlocutors. You will also explore how courtesy and discourtesy are expressed and inferred by Spanish speakers and how Spanish is utilized to persuade the audience, thus bringing up issues of language and power. Finally, you will study how members of Hispanic culture express themselves by non-verbal means (gestures, body movements, etc.). In sum, you will be exposed to the sociocultural resources native speakers utilize to infer and convey meaning. In class, after learning the theory, you will work in groups analyzing real cases of oral and written communicative exchanges in Spanish. You will also be asked to work in groups to envision how a native Spanish speaker would linguistically act in a hypothetical communicative situation.

SPAN 3706 - Spanish Applied Linguistics

(3 cr; Prereq-A grade of C- or better in SPAN 3104W or SPAN 3104V or TLDO 3104W or ARGN 3104W or SPAN 3105W or SPAN 3105V or TLDO 3105W or SPAN 3107W or SPAN 3107V or TLDO 3107W.; Student Option; offered Periodic Fall & Spring)

Spanish Applied Linguistics examines the ways in which linguistic research can be applied to the learning and teaching of Spanish. The first part of this course provides an overview of the main theories and processes of second language acquisition as they apply to Spanish second language learners and heritage speakers of Spanish to answer questions such as: How do individuals acquire a second language? In what ways is the process similar to or different from first language acquisition? In what ways are heritage learners similar to or different from second language learners? What level of proficiency do most Spanish majors attain by the time they graduate? What strategies can language learners use to reach higher levels of proficiency? The second part of the course will focus on the aspects of Spanish that are especially challenging for both second language learners and heritage speakers. For example, we?ll analyze why the distinction between the preterite and imperfect past tenses is so difficult for English-speakers to acquire. We?ll also examine pragmatic differences in the way people interact in Spanish and English. For example, is making a request in a restaurant done the same way in Minneapolis as in Madrid, Spain or Quito, Ecuador? How do English speakers learn to make appropriate requests in Spanish? Students will analyze actual native speaker and learner production of Spanish so they can develop a greater awareness of how the language works in context and how it varies across the Spanish-speaking world.

SPAN 3707 - Linguistic Accuracy Through Translation

(3 cr; Prereq-A grade of C- or better in SPAN 3104W or SPAN 3104V or TLDO 3104W or ARGN 3104W or SPAN 3105W or SPAN 3105V or TLDO 3105W or SPAN 3107W or SPAN 3107V or TLDO 3107W.; Student Option; offered Periodic Summer)

In this class, we will use translation as a tool to improve the accuracy with which we communicate in Spanish. Translations will be both from Spanish into English and English into Spanish, as each of these forces you to make use of different aspects of your knowledge of the Spanish language. While we will be learning about translation to some extent, the goal of the course is not to turn you into a translator (though it can be a starting point if you have an interest in pursuing additional coursework in translation). Rather, translation will provide an opportunity to think about the factors we need to take into consideration when making the large number of decisions we need to make when using the Spanish language. Throughout the course a variety of types of texts will be examined that vary in terms of style, audience and lexicon, and these will serve as a framework for learning to make decisions that accurately communicate our intended meaning in Spanish. In doing so, we will review many points of Spanish grammar and learn to think about them in new ways ? from the most basic grammar points that students think they understand well but perhaps haven?t realized that there are subtle differences from English to those grammar points that always pose challenges for even the most advanced students. If you come with an open mind to think about the Spanish language in a new way you will put yourself in the best position to be successful.

SPAN 3708 - Spanish in the United States

(3 cr; Prereq-A grade of C- or better in SPAN 3104W or SPAN 3104V or TLDO 3104W or ARGN 3104W or SPAN 3105W or SPAN 3105V or TLDO 3105W or SPAN 3107W or SPAN 3107V or TLDO 3107W.; Student Option; offered Periodic Spring)

In this course, students will learn about the various Spanish-speaking communities in the US, including a brief history of their migration and settlement patterns, as well as their current demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, and how these characteristics relate to Spanish language maintenance and shift. They will also explore the linguistic features of Spanish as it is spoken in the US, including dialectal variation across speakers from different countries of origin, the acquisition of Spanish by heritage speakers, codeswitching, and other language contact phenomena. The course will also examine socio-cultural issues related to the presence and vitality of Spanish in the United States, such as the use of Spanish in politics, in educational and medical settings, in courtrooms, as well as on social media, TV, and in movies and music. Students will also gain an understanding of language ideologies and the ways in which they shape understandings of U.S. Spanish.

SPAN 3709 - Context of Learning and the Acquisition of Spanish as a Second Language

(3 cr; Student Option No Audit; offered Periodic Fall & Spring)

What is the best way to learn a second language? Many believe that living in a community in what that language is spoken as a native language is the best option, so many language learners choose to spend weeks, months, and even years studying and living abroad with the goal of improving their proficiency. But is it always better? Are there any aspects of the linguistic system that are learned better in a classroom? And do the results vary according to the status of the first and second languages of the speaker? Approximately 18 million people study or speak Spanish as a second language around the world. The contexts in which they learn Spanish vary from the classroom to natural environments. In this course, you will explore the various contexts and synthesize the results of empirical studies with the goal of identifying the influence of contextual variables on the acquisition of Spanish as a second language. By the end of the course, you will be able to answer the following questions: What does it mean to know a language? In what contexts is Spanish learned as a second language? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each context? How do other variables interact with context to influence language development?

In this course, we will study the representations of health, illness, and trauma in Latin American films. We will focus on the different ways in which the moving image account for different stories and perspectives. We will pay particular attention to the use of the camera in relation to the stories told by the different characters of the film, in particular, doctors and health workers, patients and their families. We will focus on the process of storytelling of illness and trauma, and on the essential role that the study of cultural and socio-political frameworks have in the study of narratives. Our objective will be to explore the visual, acoustic and narrative strategies through which pain, illness, trauma, and death are represented, as well as the role of those who listen to these narratives (friends, family, health professionals and, of course, ourselves as spectators) in the process of interpretation (and the cultural aspects of interpretation). In this course, students will reflect on the human condition, and in the use of storytelling to understand and communicate one?s life story, focusing on the moments in which that the experience of illness or trauma interrupts and transforms a life story. Students will work in groups to create narratives based on the films studied in class and to analyze films (and their own narratives) with critical approaches coming from, visual and acoustic studies, philosophy, literary studies, and narrative medicine.
