SPAN 250 - Spanish for Heritage Spanish Speakers

Units: 3

Designed for students who come from a Spanish-speaking background, yet who have completed little or no formal study of Spanish. Through intensive review of grammar, along with writing and speaking exercises aimed at strengthening proficiency in these areas, the course will emphasize the development and refinement of communication skills. Special attention will be focused on the problems particular to bilingual students, such as orthography, the use of “Spanglish,” and the idea of “standard Spanish” vs. regional variations. Conducted in Spanish.
