Unfortunately this is an on-line class and therefore class preparation is handled differently than a traditional course. It will contain a method in which to assess the oral aspect of the material handled through MySpanishLab. Therefore, the student is responsible for logging on. Language acquisition is a skill one must practice daily. It requires a lot of risk taking on the part of the learner. This course is student-centered and students will be given many opportunities to use the language. Failure to keep up with the daily assignments and to participate in class or on-line will result in the student falling behind very quickly and receiving a low grade for the

    Culture is one of many common denominators that portrays the beliefs, customs, values, and languages of modern day society. Furthermore, culture serves as a defining principle of how people live and what type of person they develop into throughout the infinite process of time. Another essential aspect of culture is that it helps outline a definite sketch of the learned and shared human patterns that surround numerous civilizations. Deriving from a pre-dominantly Mexican heritage, one of the most dynamic and influential aspects of Hispanic culture is “Dia de los Muertos.”…

    Spanish is spoken by a diverse range of cultures—however, these cultures come together, united by their shared values, to create what we know as the Latino community. Though learning the language is principal in a Spanish class, learning about the culture of that language is almost equally as important.

Therefore, knowing the significance and effectiveness of bilingual education and the fundamental characteristics of the Latino community is a perfect way to begin a journey into the depths of the Spanish language and the culture surrounding it.…
