Ways of Reading and Writing in Spanish

SPA 307 is an advanced language course offering students enhanced opportunities to develop autonomy and proficiency as Spanish readers and writers, by actively engaging with a variety of textual genres. Students learn to recognize the relationship between the form of a text and the intentions of its producer, identify literal and implicit meanings, and understand them within the culture in which they are produced. By the end of the semester, students can bring together form and function to read and write sophisticated pieces and present their ideas orally in an articulate, eloquent fashion.
