The course is structured around three thematically-oriented axes: memory, gender, and fantasy. This allows us to study a broad corpus of literary texts and movies, as well as the representations of these topics in a variety of Spanish-speaking countries. 

This course further promotes students’ oral and written abilities, as well as their critical understanding of the history and culture of the Spanish-speaking regions. Course components include: written and oral/aural practice of Spanish through oral reports, class discussions and debates on assigned topics, short literary works, and films. It offers a review of some of the most challenging grammatical structures with the aim of achieving greater accuracy.
