¡Bienvenidos a SPAN 1020!

The primary objective of world language study is to prepare students to participate successfully as global citizens of the world. This ability to communicate successfully with speakers of other languages comes from a commitment to engage actively in mastery of the second language system, ongoing skill building in speaking, listening, reading, and writing, and cultivating a keen understanding of the products (art, literature, architecture, food, dress, laws, etc.), perspectives (meanings, attitudes, values, beliefs, ideas), and practices (social interactions, behaviors) of Hispanic cultures and peoples.  SPAN 1020 will be the beginning of this journey for you as an emerging Spanish speaker, as you discover insights about yourself and others and connections to your personal and academic interests and pursuits.

Your work in this course and beyond will help you develop greater self-awareness as world language learners, cultivating attitudes of curiosity, flexibility, openness, and compassion for the self and other, becoming more confident and competent Spanish speakers, and active members of local and global communities.
