SPAN 211 — Latin American and Spanish Cinema
The 1-credit course, SPAN 211 Latin American and Spanish Cinema, will be taught in Spanish. It will use informative and thought provoking films to focus on the contemporary history, literature, and art culture of the Hispanic world. Supplementary texts and articles will provide background historical events and analysis to enhance the understanding of the circumstances and themes that each of the films address. Students will be able to improve their argumentative and analytical skills, and to develop new, more complex, vocabulary through discussions and writing assignments.
