SPAN 304 Introduction to Latin American Literature
For students with years of previous study in Spanish as demonstrated by a placement exam, or for students with a passing grade in SPAN 202, this course is designed to provide intensive practice in conversation, reading and writing in the Spanish language. This course is designed to introduce students to major works and writers of Latin American Literature and additionally provide context, history and a survey of literary movements. Using the course's content as the subject of academic inquiry, it also develops the four skills of communication in Spanish (reading, writing, speaking, and listening), with a special focus will be given to real-time interpersonal and presentational oral production of cohesive paragraphs featuring narration and description in all tenses and on a variety of increasingly abstract and academic contexts. This course roughly targets the ACTFL Intermediate-High rating. Teaching methodologies may include task-based, project-based, and other experiential learning assignments. Taught in Spanish.
