SPANSH 59H - Spanish for Latino Students II: Connecting with Communities

An advanced language course for Spanish heritage learners that aims to strengthen students’ Spanish oral and written capabilities through civic engagement with Latinx communities; and to further develop students’ critical language and social awareness around important issues for Latinos in our globalized era: U.S-Latin American relations, migration, bilingualism and education, ethnic studies and social justice and health disparities. Students explore these topics through various genres (newspapers and academic articles, debates, literary essays, short novels, poetry, visual art, film and music) and through three hours a week of community service.
