Languaging and the Latinx identities
SPANSH 49H

Course Information

Description

This course builds on students' knowledge of Spanish to explore the relationship between their languaging practices and their Latinx identities. Understanding languages as a way of knowing and meaning making, we use a variety of texts, genres, music, videos, films and visual arts to engage in discussions about family heritage, migration, and Latinx cultural and linguistic traditions and innovations. Students will strengthen their oral and written abilities, expand their interpersonal, interpretive and performative resources for languaging in informal and academic contexts.

Course Notes

Spanish 49h was formerly Spanish 35; therefore, students cannot take 49h if they've already taken 35. Spanish 49h should be a prerequisite for 59h (or permission of the instructor).
