SPAN 305 Special Topics in Spanish and Hispanophone Literature: (Subtitle)
For students with years of previous study in Spanish as demonstrated by a placement protocol or with a passing grade in SPAN 202, SPAN 305 uses a content-based approach to investigate Spanish and Hispanophone cultural practices, and perspectives through a representative selection of the literature of an author, movement, geographical region, or time period in the Spanish or Hispanophone tradition. 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 focus on 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, as well as on interpretive communication and argumentation through expository process writing. This course roughly targets the ACTFL Advanced-Mid rating. Teaching methodologies may include task-based, project-based, and other experiential learning assignments. Taught in Spanish.
Prerequisite
