Socio-Linguistic Exploration

This course is designed to learn about the culture of Spanishspeaking countries through an exploration of TV series. Students will view, discuss, analyze and present on different aspects, including but not limited to identity, community, art and history. The course may also include reading of written material serving as the basis for these series. Exposure to authentic audio will allow students to develop a better understanding of spoken Spanish as well as provide a wider range of authentic vocabulary as it is used in everyday situations. In place of a text, students must subscribe to a video platform for the duration of the term.
