SPN 3533 is for students interested in why and how people in the US and other countries learn Spanish and other languages. By engaging with students and teachers in the US and other Spanish speaking countries, students critically consider how they can take action as individuals or in collaboration with others to promote bilingualism/biliteracy/biculturalism in local and global contexts. This course may especially benefit students who are considering teaching here in the US or abroad, be it as a career or as part of a short-term experience like working with the Peace Corps, Fulbright, or specific countries’ student/teacher placement programs like Spain’s Cultural Ambassadors Program. This course counts towards UF’s International Scholars Program.
