WCL109 Span BasicGram&WritngforHeritageSpeakers
A course for Spanish-speaking students which affords them the opportunity to study Spanish formally in an academic setting in the same way native English speakers study English language arts. The course allows students to reactivate the Spanish they have learned previously and develop it further, to learn more about their language and cultural heritage, to acquire Spanish literacy skills, to develop or augment Spanish academic language skills, and to enhance career opportunities. Students will develop strategic Spanish academic vocabulary as they learn to critically analyze a text, write poetry, and acquire new information in different academic content areas.
