SPAN420 Spanish Applied Linguistics and Advanced Grammar

This course combines the study of advanced Spanish grammar and Spanish applied linguistics. Students concentrate on the Spanish language as a communicative system, rather than a set of grammatical rules. They explore the value of discourse analysis, pragmatics and sociolinguistics in the acquisition of Spanish as a second language. In this advanced-level course, all teaching, class discussions, readings, written work and testing are in Spanish. Prerequisite(s): SPAN320 and SPAN325, or consent of the department. Counts in the Humanities Area of General Education Requirements. 5 quarter hours
