SPAN 021 — Spanish for Heritage Speakers I Units: 5
This course introduces Heritage Speakers of Spanish to the demands of reading and writing in the academic setting, as well as, building global competence. A Heritage Speaker is defined as someone who speaks and understands the heritage language (in this case Spanish) and who is to some degree bilingual in English and the heritage language (Valdes, G. 2001). Students learn the basics of critical thinking and research techniques as they apply to the three modes of communication: presentational (speaking, writing), interpretative (listening and reading), and interpersonal (speaking and writing). Students then learn to apply the different types of writing such as expository, persuasive, descriptive, and narrative in response to their analysis of literary works.
