SPAN 303: ADVANCED SPANISH GRAMMAR
Reviews all phases of communication skills with practice in understanding, speaking, and writing grammatically correct Spanish. Teaches specific components of Spanish grammar: the Spanish verbal system, the subjunctive, ser versus estar, and other problematic aspects of grammar.
In the Fall of 2022 I had taken the course of Spanish 303: Bilingualism in the Spanish World with Professor Pozzi which fulfills MLO 2: Linguistics requirement. Through this course I had learned about Bilingualism in the Hispanic community from Latin America to Spain and the USA. The course materials were based on books and video clips that review all phases of communication skills with practice in understanding, speaking, and writing grammatically correct Spanish. As a student I had learned the components of Spanish grammar. In class we watched a 5 minute video about an interview Pitbull did. Throughout the video me and my team were supposed to identify the subjunctive, ser versus estar, indirect and direct object pronouns, and code switching. I had to identify code switching in Pitbull's interview. After collecting data, me and my team had to write an essay about all of our findings. In addition, from the data collected from the video about code switching I also had to relate to the readings we read in class about code switching and why might Pitbull do code switching.
WLC 400: CAPSTONE
Students work with the instructor and WLC faculty advisors to research, synthesize, write and present their Capstone projects. Students will also complete a Graduation ePortfolio reflecting how each MLO was met. This course is required for all Japanese Language and Culture, and Spanish Language and Hispanic Cultures majors.
In the Spring of 2023 I had taken the course of WLC 400: CAPSTONE with Professor Gonzalez which fulfills MLO 6: Research and Technology requirement. Through this course I had learned about research through databases. The course materials were based on Students working with the instructor and WLC faculty advisors to research, synthesize, write and present their Capstone projects. In addition, students will also complete a Graduation ePortfolio reflecting how each MLO was met. As mentioned in Span 300: Pre Capstone my partner and I had started the rough draft. Unfortunately, during the Capstone we parted our own research. I had to modify my research from the beginning. My research now became about the experience of a Mixtec person in California. The journey with my research was not easy at all; there was not enough information about the Linguistic aspect. It was somewhat difficult to cite my research. Most of my research was based on my observations and experiences with the community. Something that was interesting about my research was the newborn phenomenon of mixspanglish similar to spanglish but with the addition of mixteco seen inside the family structure.
