- Are you interested in exploring sociolinguistic dynamics of communities where Spanish is in contact with another language en América Latina (incluyendo los Estados Unidos), España, África y Asia?
- Do you want to learn more about the dozens of lenguas originarias (indígenas) que se hablan en México y otras partes de las Américas?
- Are you curious about how languages formed as a result of the socio-political history in Latinoamérica over the last few centuries?
- Are you looking for a way to continue to use and grow your Spanish language abilities over the summer, while earning 4 upper-division credits toward the Spanish minor or major?
We will study songs, articles, poetry, essays, newspaper articles, videos, and more. You will learn collaboratively through discussion board videos and posts and will do some creative writing to explore your languages, identity, and the topics of the course.
