Institution:

Muhlenberg College

Subject:

Description:

With a rapidly growing Latino and Hispanic immigrant population, the Lehigh Valley offers Spanish students a unique opportunity to hone their language skills and cultural understanding. Spanish for the Community: Translation is a writingintensive service course blending regular and extensively revised written work with communitybased practical experience, investigation, exploration, and reflection. This servicelearning course incorporates collaborative projects with organizations working closely with Spanishspeaking clients. To complement the community component, weekly classes will provide a solid introduction to the basic theories and methodologies of written translation, with special focus on the specific needs and concerns of the local Latino and Hispanic immigrant communities. This course is designed to complement SPN 307, Spanish for the Community: Interpreting, and students are welcome and encouraged to take both. The class is conducted in Spanish, though given the special nature of English/Spanish and Spanish/English translation, class discussions may include Spanish, English, or even Spanglish. Students should expect to commit about 5 hours/week to the community servicelearning component of this course. Prerequisite: One 400level course in Spanish or approval of instructor.
