SPAN 235 - Spanish Language and Culture for Heritage Speakers I

Institution:

Texas Lutheran University

Subject:

Description:

This course is intended to serve the needs of students who have grown up in an environment where Spanish was used to varying degrees around them by relatives, friends, or other community members. The course presumes that the student cannot speak the language to any significant extent, does not know the grammar of the language, and has had little or no formal study of the language. The student can, however, understand bits and pieces of the language. Certainly, the student will have a command of Spanish-language pronunciation, though he or she may have acquired this important ability quite unconsciously. Thus, this course is conducted bilingually in English and Spanish, with English predominating in the first part of the semester. The course intends to realize a smooth, seemingly natural transition fromEnglish to Spanish as the course progresses toward its end.
