Spanish Courses
Conexiones students attend small intensive classes (3 hours daily) and lectures in Spanish. The UNM professors are assisted by Spanish teachers and lecturers. Experiential assignments in Spanish dovetail with work in the Honors culture study course. All students must register for one of the following courses: Spanish 200, 301, or 429. Students in Spanish 200 and 301 are welcome to sign up for Spanish 203.
Below are examples of classes offered in 2007. This information will be updated.
SPAN 200-030 Intermediate Spanish Abroad (3 hrs)
Grammar and conversation with emphasis on Spanish Culture (for students with minimal Spanish)
SPAN 203-030 Spanish Conversation (3 hrs)
Intensive, structured conversational Spanish (elective at all levels)
SPAN 301-030 Los Gitanos de España (3 hrs)
This course uses the mediums of literature from Cervantes, García Lorca and other Spanish writers, CD recordings, and film from documentaries in the work of Carlos Saura and other filmmakers to examine the presence of the enigmatic group, the Gypsies of Spain. This course will enable the student to refine his/her knowledge of Spanish with the four language skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking and thereby discuss the topic of the course, the Gypsies of Spain. The evaluation of the course is based on several quizzes, short essays, oral presentations, and a final paper.
