    Description
    This course is designed for heritage speakers of Spanish or other linguistically qualified students who have achieved an intermediate-high level of proficiency. It continues to develop reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills while deepening students’ appreciation of their cultural heritage and the richness of the Spanish-speaking world. Emphasis is placed on refining grammatical accuracy, expanding academic and professional vocabulary, and mastering advanced linguistic registers. Students will read, analyze, and respond to literary, cultural, and media texts by Spanish-speaking authors from diverse regions and identities, connecting them to social and historical contexts. Through essays, discussions, and creative projects, students will strengthen their analytical and intercultural competencies. The course is conducted entirely in Spanish.
