SPN 5055: Spanish Linguistics for Teachers (3 cr.)

This course, taught entirely in Spanish, addresses areas of Spanish linguistics such as Second Language Acquisition theories, the verbal system, the modal system, semantics and lexicon, sociolinguistics and bilinguism, and it's aimed to expand and reinforce students existing knowledge of the Spanish language and its cultural/linguistic issues. This course provides a background of concepts and practice of the Spanish language grammatical and semantic concerns that are usually problematic for English speaking teachers, teachers of Hispanic descent, or students of any background aiming to become teachers of Spanish. This course provides the students an avenue to expand even further the Spanish Department's goals and objectives, which are to develop the three main skills in language learning: write, read, speak and intensely understand the acquired language.
