This course is designed for native and heritage speakers, as well as other linguistically qualified students, whose formal training in the language is not complete. The course will focus on extensive reading of all types of texts and their reworking in written form with the intention of expanding the vocabulary, creating an incipient awareness of linguistic registers, discussing items beyond the familial routine, improving written expression, and developing an appreciation for Hispanic culture as manifested in Spanish speaking countries and the U.S. This course is entirely conducted in Spanish.
