Course Description

Summary

Students in this course will continue to learn the Spanish language through an examination of music. The focus of discussion will be on social, cultural, historical, and aesthetical aspects present in music. A consideration, for instance, of local, national, regional, and transnational identity; social justice; expressions of freedom; gender identity; different styles; and experimental approaches will drive the student-generated conversation. We will use a variety of audiovisual material such as video-clips, concert videos, interviews, soundtracks, and documentaries to give students more chances to immerse themselves in the music coming from the Spanish-speaking world. The course will also provide specific and explicit support for the linguistic development necessary to communicate in increasingly complex ways, in both written and conversational Spanish. Conducted in Spanish. Introductory level.
