Transfers ToUC and CSUIGETC Area 6A · CSU GE Area C2DescriptionThis introductory course is parallel to SPAN 1 , but is designed for Spanish heritage speakers, or other linguistically qualified students, with limited to no formal study of the language. It is conducted totally in Spanish, with emphases on grammar and writing. Through the study of selected readings, students will expand on their own experiences and explore other Spanish- speaking cultures. Readings are pertinent to the culture, history, and literature of Hispanics in the United States, Latin America and Spain. Compositions will explore personal, political, and cultural issues, as well as analyses of Spanish and Latin American literary pieces. This includes the study of culture through contemporary Hispanic readings. The course increases awareness of linguistic registers, discusses items beyond the familiar routine, and instills an appreciation of Hispanic cultures manifested in Spanish-speaking countries including the United States. The course is equivalent to the satisfactory completion of two years of high school instruction in Spanish. Portions of instruction may be offered online; may also be offered fully online.
