Program for Heritage Speakers of Spanish
We offer two courses specifically designed for those who grew up speaking Spanish at home, or who have had extensive contact with the language, but who have had little or no formal training. They are:
- SPN3350 Spanish for Heritage Speakers, focused on improving your written Spanish, and
- SPN3351 Communication and Communities for Heritage Speakers, designed to help you feel comfortable using Spanish in professional settings.
Both courses have a cultural component centered on examining the experiences of immigrants and analyzing what it means to be bilingual and bicultural in the United States today.
SPN3350 is offered in fall semesters, and SPN3351 in spring semesters. Students in SPN3351 contribute to the oral history project .
