For help outside the classroom, please see me during my olﬁce hours and/or work with one ofthe Spanish tutors in the I-IGS lab in B127 between the hours of 8:00am and 5:00pm Monday — Friday. Reading and writing are excellent ways to greatly improve your literacy, ﬂuency, vocabulary and accuracy in Spanish no matter your current proﬁciency. Some of the topics we will discuss are identity, personality, the imagination, ﬁlm and other media, power and politics, love, and lifestyles. While grammar will not be a major focus in this course, we will review some advanced structures when you have questions.

Of course, an enormous pan of this mastery is cultural competence that is required to effectively negotiate our diverse global world. In order to be able to engage with others authentically, we must understand the dynamics of power and privilege and identify and move beyond ethnocentric views we receive from our culture. 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, WRITING INTENSIVE
