Courses for Spring 2021
SPA 314: Civilization of Spanish America
Note: This class is 100% online with no live class meetings on Zoom. We'll have two due dates per week: Tuesday and Thursday at midnight. This is an 8-week course, so we move pretty fast and cover a lot of material each week. But, the asynchronous part means that you can do the work whenever fits best for your schedule.
Course description: This course is designed to acquaint students with Spanish America’s intellectual, cultural and historical development, from Pre-Columbian times to the present. We will draw on a variety of materials, including nonfiction writing, poetry, music, visual art, and Internet sources to inform our study some of the many cultures, people, and nations that make up Spanish America. Through online discussions and individual exploration, students will be asked to evaluate and think critically about Spanish-American cultures while refining their own communicative abilities in Spanish.
SPA 202: Intermediate Spanish IV
Note: This class is 100% online but we will have regular meetings on Zoom following the MWF meeting pattern shown on myUK.
SPA 202 is designed to provide students with an intermediate knowledge of the Spanish language with an emphasis on these four skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The textbook and course are designed to help you improve your ability to understand the main ideas of intermediate-level written texts and spoken Spanish, make cross-cultural comparisons between the cultures of the Spanish-speaking world and your own, and interact with Spanish speakers you encounter both at home and abroad.
