Advanced Spanish for Heritage Learners

Catalog description

This course is designed for heritage or bilingual students who grew up speaking Spanish at home, but have been educated almost exclusively in English. Together we will explore, reflect, and express opinions about topics that affect the diverse Latino communities in the United States such as: identity, bilingual education, immigration, health and human rights issues. Through reading current news and literary works, and listening and watching audiovisual media, students will develop the ability to read and write in Spanish in formal contexts, and also comprehend and compare the diversity and commonality of their Hispanic heritage.
