SPN104 Language and Culture
Language & Culture takes a communicative and interactive approach to the teaching of Spanish. It stresses cultural competency and the ability to make connections as an invaluable component of language learning. It reinforces basic listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills through diverse formats: discussion topics, role-plays, interviews, oral presentations and the use of basic grammatical stuctures correctly. It connects to language through culture and promotes authentic communicative exchanges in which students provide, acquire, and interpret information, as well as express emotions and opinions. Students participate in a broader, richer Spanish-speaking community and develop further insight into the nature of language and culture beyond the classroom setting. A trip to a Spanish speaking country is part of this course.
