Spanish Grammar Review and Its Teaching

Catalog description

This course consists of a survey of Spanish Linguistics (Phonetics, Phonology, Morphology, Syntax and Dialectology) at an advanced level. Students will become acquainted with Linguistic theories through peer-review scholarly articles. Such articles also describe the application of such theories in the classroom. Students are encouraged to reflect on their own learning of the complex grammatical aspects of the language, and on the functions of teachers of second languages, who are responsible for the learning process of potential students. This course will bring to light the difficult task of including accurate and meaningful explanations of the grammatical aspects of learning a second language; a task which is undoubtedly a key to success. This is a 3 hour, lecture course with no prerequisites.
