Students will also enhance their reading and writing skills using academic Spanish vocabulary, and develop their critical thinking skills by reading, analyzing, and critiquing different literary pieces, and historical and current events. This course will be conducted entirely in Spanish. Note: Students must be native speakers or heritage language speakers. A native speaker or heritage speaker is someone who was born in a Spanish speaking country and/or speaks Spanish at home. A heritage language speaker may also be an individual who has learned Spanish in a non-academic setting. (C-ID: SPAN 220) (UC, CSU, AVC)
