SW 474B Intermediate Spanish for Social Workers
This one-credit course uses an integrated approach to teach Spanish listening, speaking, reading and writing skills in a cultural context. The course requires basic knowledge of the language and focuses on the use of Spanish in Social Work. Class sessions are conducted entirely in Spanish and the language is used in communicative, creative and critical thinking activities. Students will re-enact real life situations where they learn culturally appropriate responses. Lectures will introduce and clarify grammatical structures, as well as compare and contrast cultural differences around the Spanish-speaking world. Weekly preparation prior to the class and active participation is required. A verbal proficiency level test must be taken prior to starting the course to ensure that students are at a similar level. Social work students and professionals will be integrated in this course. The class will be limited to 15 participants. This class is a one-credit enrichment class and does not meet an elective requirement.
