This course presents specific linguistic and socio-historical aspects of the teaching of Spanish at the college level in the US. Some of the topics covered are: explaining and minimizing linguistic errors due to the transfer from English, accommodating the needs of learners who are heritage speakers, or integrating culture in an inclusive and relevant way. Through the observation of language instructors, the discussion of course readings, and the development of a teaching portfolio, among other assessments, students will gain a working knowledge of adult second language acquisition theory and become familiar with a variety of instructional approaches and the particular socio-historical context of the Spanish language in the U.S. This course is especially beneficial for College In the Schools (CIS) teachers of Spanish, as it will be taught in the target language.
