Honors: Spanish for Heritage Speakers II

Catalog description

This course is designed for heritage speakers of Spanish or other linguistically qualified students who have achieved an intermediate-high level of proficiency. It continues to develop reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills while deepening students’ appreciation of their cultural heritage and the richness of the Spanish-speaking world. Emphasis is placed on refining grammatical accuracy, expanding academic and professional vocabulary, and mastering advanced linguistic registers. Students will read, analyze, and respond to literary, cultural, and media texts by Spanish-speaking authors from diverse regions and identities, connecting them to social and historical contexts. Through essays, discussions, and creative projects, students will strengthen their analytical and intercultural competencies. Honors work challenges students to be more analytical and creative through expanded assignments, and enrichment opportunities. Credit will not be awarded for both the honors and regular versions of a course. Credit will be awarded only for the first course completed with a grade of “C” or better or "P". This course is conducted entirely in Spanish.
