Institution:

The College of New Jersey

Subject:

Description:

This course combines the study of Spanish language with Mexican culture. Special emphasis will be given to the development of a basic knowledge of health care vocabulary and the ability to take a medical history in Spanish. The exposure to another people's language, history, and culture will also offer students the opportunity to reflect on their own language and culture. Students will obtain their information through textbooks, newspapers, magazines, videos, professionally prepared CDs, and PowerPoint presentations. Moreover, they will participate in a culminating experience in the form of a two week immersion experience in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico to see, hear, smell, taste, and touch what they have studied. This course has no prerequisites. However, students should expect an intense classroom experience with a large amount of homework outside of class.
