SPAN 303 - THE ART OF READING IN SPANISH
This course provides an opportunity to expand your linguistic and cultural competency by exploring exciting works of literature in Spanish. ln order to discuss literary selections we will use vocabulary and concepts pertaining to the ﬁeld, such as personaje (character), género (genre), cuenlo (short story), tema (theme), tmma or argumenlo (plot), etc... Applied or thematic courses like this can lead to incredible acquisition oflanguage and increased proﬁciency in all the skills: reading, writing, speaking, listening and cultural competence. Mastery of any language requires continuous practice and attention to linguistic detail. Because literature potentially touches all aspects ofthe human experience, it will expand your vocabulary more than you can imagine if you really engage with the readings. Literature also carries rich cultural material that will help lead to deeper understanding and cultural competence (how well one can negotiate diverse cultural contexts). ln order to be able to engage with others authentically, we must understand the dynamics ofpower and privilege and identify and move beyond ethnocentric views we receive from our culture. Thus, we will emphasize the communities and historical periods in which these literary texts are produced. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Hybrid, Lecture, Online Course Language Department Course Attributes: Gen Ed 2018, Gen Ed 18-Global Awareness, OLD GE-INTERNATIONAL ISSUES Restrictions: Must be enrolled in one of the following Levels: Undergraduate Prerequisites: FOR SPAN 303 General Requirements: ( Course or Test: SPAN 202 Minimum Grade of D May not be taken concurrently. ) or ( STAMP Spanish Final Score 5 to 6 May not be taken concurrently. ) or ( STAMP 2 Spanish Final Score 6 to 8 May not be taken concurrently. ) and ( Course or Test: CRWT 102 Minimum Grade of D May not be taken concurrently. )
