Spinelli, Emily. English Grammar for Students of Spanish (Olivia

Prerequisite:
At least one year of high school Spanish and a score of 10-44 on the
placement exam. Students who have already taken SPAN 101 and/or 102
equivalent are not eligible to take this class.
SPAN
134: SPANISH IMMERSION
FULL TERM
Daily|multiple sections|15 cr
This "planned immersion" approach covers the equivalent
of the 1st year of elementary Spanish (101, 102. 103) in a short period
of 9 weeks. It is an extremely intensive course which requires the
outmost commitment on the part of the student (3.5 hours of class
5 days a week, and 3-4 hours of daily preparation). Students who register
for this course should be prepared to devote 7-8 hours daily to studying
Spanish.
Spanish 134 follows an alternative method. It is an approach in which
students learn the foreign language in its cultural context. Through
the use of video as the central medium of presentation, students experience
the language as it occurs in real-life situations and settings throughout
the Spanish-speaking world. This communicative method follows the
premise that the four language skills are most effectively developed
when acquired in a specific order: listening, speaking, reading, writing.
Credit Policy: Students who already have credit for SPAN 101 (or 121)
will receive only 10 credits for SPAN 134, those who already have
credit for SPAN 102/110 (or 122) will receive only 5 credits for SPAN
134, and those who already have credit for SPAN 103 (or 123) will
not receive any credit for SPAN 134. . In addition, a student who
completed at least two years of Spanish in high school will receive
only 10 credits for SPAN 134. It is important to note that those who
do not receive full credit for SPAN 134 are required to turn in all
assignments and participate in all aspects of the course.

SPAN 334: LATIN AMERICAN CINEMA
A TERM
Daily|1:10-3:20 pm|5 cr|Steele|I&S/VLPA
Film as national allegory in the history of Latin American cinema,
especially in Cuba and the Southern Cone countries of Brazil, Argentina
and Chile. In the 1960s and early 1970s the so-called New Latin American
Cinema burst onto the international scene as a revolutionary, avant-garde
movement in documentary and feature film, pioneering innovative strategies
for addressing problems of social inequality, authoritarianism and
dependency. Most of these founding directors, including Glauber Rocha,
Patricio Guzmán, Fernando Solanas, and Raúl Ruiz, were
forced into exile for many years but continued exerting tremendous
influence on younger generations of Latin American directors from
afar, and recently, upon returning to their home countries, they have
begun making an important second wave of landmark films. We will examine
several examples of such seminal directors, during both the 1960s
and the 2000s, as well as several directors from subsequent generations
who have been influenced by the New Latin American Cinema movement.
Required Text:
Alberto Elena and Marina Díaz López, eds. The Cinema
of Latin America (London: Wallflower Press, 2003); Deborah Shaw,
Contemporary Cinema of Latin America: 10 Key Films (London:
Continuum, 2003).
