Credit(s): 3
Prerequisite(s): SPAN 121 or approval of the Modern Foreign Languages Program Director.
This course focuses on the development of written and oral communication skills in the Spanish language through the medium of Latin American film. Through viewing and discussing Latin American films students will learn about the cultures and histories of various Latin American countries and further develop the Spanish language skills necessary to effective communication. This is an intermediate Spanish course so the films will have subtitles to scaffold student learning and to make it possible for non-native Spanish speakers to comprehend the films and participate in the various oral and written activities that will be assigned.
