4 credits each
This course is designed to deepen students’ knowledge of Spanish through the scientific study of the language and its structure.

Students will also have the opportunity to explore the application of theoretical linguistics to real-world, language-related challenges. These may include how second languages are learned or taught (second language acquisition), how our brains process language (psycholinguistics), or how language and society interact (sociolinguistics).  All activities conducted in Spanish. Repeat credit is allowed for varying topics. Prerequisite(s): SPAN 312  with a C- or better or instructor approval.
