SPAN 231 Bilingualism & Spanish
The primary goal of this course is to develop students' writing skills in Spanish. The topic of this section is Bilingualism and the roles it plays among the people of the Spanish-speaking world (Spain and Latin America). More than half of the world's people who speak Spanish do so in a context of intensive bilingualism and contact with other languages. These include, among others, indigenous languages, English, other Romance languages (like Catalan), and creole languages. In this course, students will read and respond to a variety of texts and other materials, including, but not limited to: essays, popular media (i.e. newspaper and magazine articles), film, poetry and fiction. Topics that will be explored are identity, power and politics, history, class, race, and gender. This course aims to further students' understanding of the people who speak Spanish, the issues they face in society, and the functions of language.
