WORLD LANGUAGE SPA 307 Latin American Texts: Reading Between the Lines

In this course we will focus our attention on Latin American texts, reading for both their literal and figurative meanings so as to discover underlying messages of social justice. Because texts represent the communities in which they are created, students will learn how the text, as a cultural product, responds to the socio-historical contexts in which they are created. Along with reading and writing skills, students will build their vocabulary, expand their knowledge of grammar, and create their own short narratives.
