Overview of class

This course prepares students for upcoming advanced Spanish courses. Current topics in the Spanish-speaking world will serve as an entry point for students to explore how past events have shaped the current circumstances of Latin America, Spain, and the Latinx community in the U.S. Students will develop a critical awareness of their language abilities. There will be an emphasis on reading and writing skills for Spanish heritage learners who have acquired Spanish listening and speaking skills at home and in their communities. Students will broaden their personal histories as Latinxs, literacy skills, and registers of use. Prerequisite: Spanish heritage learners who have completed SPANISH 127-0, AP of 4 or Departmental Placement.
