SPAN 335. Advanced Spanish Pronunciation & Conversation (3-credits), (Prereq: SPAN*315, or permission of instructor) This course is an introduction to the phonology (the system of sounds) and the phonetics (the pronunciation of those sounds) of the Spanish language. The course is designed with three primary goals in mind. First, the study of phonetics/phonology enables students to improve their pronunciation (assuming they are not native Spanish-speakers.) Second, the introduction to the systematic, scientific study of language linguistics, where students learn to transcribe written and oral language, focusing on areas of difficulty for English-speaking students of Spanish. And last, the examination of ways in which Spanish pronunciation differs systematically throughout the world. S.

Justification For Request

What research has led to this request?

The Spanish program currently offers “SPAN 255: Intermediate Spanish pronunciation, and conversation", which is great for students that take SPAN 210/211 and need some more communicative practice before jumping into 300 level courses. However, for students with higher Spanish level, or heritage speakers, this course is not too challenging, and therefore there is a need to offer an “Advanced Spanish pronunciation, and conversation" that still focuses on the Spanish language, in a more linguistic learning approach. It will also benefit students as next level after SPAN 255.

What impact will this request have on existing academic programs?

This course will give more coherence to Hispanic Studies Major program.

What financial costs are associated with this request?

N/A

If NO change in cost is anticipated, how is this possible?
