Ways of Reading and Writing in Spanish

SPA 307 helps you become an expert reader and writer in Spanish. By engaging with a variety of textual genres, you will learn to recognize the relationship between the form of a text and the intention of its author, identify literal and implicit meanings, and understand them within the culture in which they are produced. We engage in literacy exercises to explore a variety of topics and issues within the Spanish-speaking world, such as urban sociology, political activism, migration, and mobility. By the end of the semester, you will bring together form and function to read and write sophisticated pieces. This course is taught in Spanish.
