SPAN 115 - Spanish for Heritage Speakers

Institution:

King's College - Pennsylvania

Subject:

Spanish

Description:

Designed for heritage speakers who are conversational in Spanish but may have little or no formal training in reading or writing the language. Course builds on students' current linguistic strengths to develop greater grammatical accuracy, expand vocabulary, and adapt voice and tone to a range of contexts. Activities address what it means to be a bi- or multi-cultural individual living in America today; how students connect with their cultural heritage; what challenges students face on campus, in town, or across the nation; and how students can celebrate the many ways in which their cultural heritage is a source of strength. A community service component through the McGowan Hispanic Outreach Program is an opportunity for students to strengthen relationships with their community. Special attention given to developing intercultural competency by encouraging students to reflect on the duality of the Hispanic-American identity. Course conducted in Spanish 90% of the time. Students who are eligible for SPAN 115 may not take a lower-level Spanish course. Offered fall semesters.
