“I investigated community libraries and helped translate documents but the most rewarding experience for me was conducting virtual English sessions alongside my friend and classmate, Dylan Morin. As someone who loves learning languages and hopes to become a language teacher, this was an extremely valuable experience.” Katie Marchant, SPAN 302 workshop facilitator

SPAN 302 Intermediate Spanish II, Experiential and Community Engaged Learning (CEL) alignment with course curriculum and learning outcomes:

Intercultural and inter-linguistic application through Spanish-English workshops with students from our partner organization, Ratón de Biblioteca (Colombia).

  1. Identify and apply cultural, and topic-specific vocabulary and grammar structures in appropriate contexts, through community engaged learning (CEL) projects.
  2. Expand and develop cross-cultural awareness and understanding by studying, describing, and comparing critically diverse aspects of the Hispanic culture by participating in (optional) community engaged learning projects.
  3. Make connections between course content and its application in community specific contexts.
