My Courses
SPA 2201HS Spanish for Heritage Speakers, Spring 2021
Spanish for Heritage Speakers is an intermediate course intended for students who were immersed in or exposed to the language while growing up, but who have received little or no formal instruction in Spanish. Strengthens students’ competence in the oral and written standard varieties of Spanish by building on their previous knowledge to expand their vocabulary, strengthen their command of grammar, and achieve more confidence and fluency in speaking and writing while learning about the diversity of the Hispanic cultures. The skills acquired in this course will help reinforce students’ bilingual abilities and cultural competence. The minimum technological requirements for fully online sections of this course are a working camera and microphone. Students will be expected to turn on cameras and microphones at their instructor’s request.
