Spanish 365: Special Topics
Course description: Studies a particular topic relative to the Spanish language or Hispanic cultures. May be repeated for credit when topics vary
Course Narrative:
In the course we read articles about professionals in the field of linguistics. After every reading we had discussion in class based on the reading we made. The professor would put us in groups this made it helpful becuase I was able to see what other people got from the reading that I might have not gotten. O ne of the most challenging task that we got in the course I would have to say is creating a presentation regarding the reading we made and present it to the class as a teacher. We had to come up with an activity at the end of the presentation to get out classmates to interact and make them more familiar with the reading. For my presentation I presented the reading regarding El Español de Hablante de Herencia, I found this reading interesting since I am a Spanish Speaker who was exposed to the language at home and learning it later on was not as easy as what people think.
The professor also let us work in groups to work on the essays, this was a lot of fun and something different.
