Semana 2: Preparing for the Encuentro Cultrual4 points

During Semana 3, you will complete the Encuentro Cultural assignment.  This assignment requires a significant amount of time and organization because you will need to arrange an interview (of at least one hour) with someone from outside the course. You will need to prepare questions before the interview as well as compile and analyze the results of the interview. In this short "quiz" you will get to know the Encuentro Cultural assignment so that you can start preparing for it. You may want to open a second window with the instructions for the Encuentro Cultural to help you complete the quiz.  You can take the quiz as many times as you would like. The highest score will count.

Semana 3: Encuentro Cultural100 points

Encuentro Cultural

In this assignment, you will engage in a conversation with a native Spanish speaker in your area for approximately one hour.  This course component gives you the opportunity to expose yourself to the Spanish language and the cultures of Spanish speakers in your community under circumstances that foster meaningful, positive interaction. It is also an opportunity to have a real-life experience in Spanish.

Step 1: ¿Con quién vas a hablar? Locate a Spanish speaking that is willing to talk with you in Spanish. (If you don’t know anyone personally, ask around to family and friends)

Step 2: ¿Qué le vas a preguntar? Write a list of basic questions in Spanish to help you get acquainted with the person (¿Cómo te llamas? ¿De dónde eres? Etc.).  Also write a list of at least ten questions in Spanish that relate to the person’s city/town and life events.  Try to incorporate vocabulary and structures from Chapters 9 and 10 (related to people, their cities and their stories) into your interview questions. Review the structures and vocabulary in Chapters 9-10 before writing your questions and conducting your interview. You may plan on asking additional questions in English as well. 

Step 3:  La entrevista.  Conduct your interview and take notes or record the answers. If you want to record the conversation, you should ask for permission and tell the interviewee why you are recording. 

Step 4:  Resumen y análisis. Your report about the Encuentro Cultural, no less than 400 words in length, should include your interview questions and a summary of each of the responses given. You do not need to include a word for word transcription of the responses but your summary of each of the responses does need to be in Spanish. In addition, include an analysis and reflection section in English in which you describe any insights you gained from this experience including a description of how your perspectives of Spanish language, peoples and cultures may have evolved as a result of the activity.

NOTE:  As we will be sharing these papers on the discussion board and completing peer reviews of each other’s work, you should change the interviewee's name unless you have permission from them to use their name.

Semana 1: Discussion-¡Profundicemos! 10 points

¡El español es multidimensional! At this stage in your Spanish studies, you are ready to "profundizar", to dig deeper. What has sparked your attention about the language and how and where it is used? This assignment is your opportunity to delve deeper into the multidimensional world of Spanish. For this open ended assignment, choose one or more of the below topics in which to expand and reflect on your knowledge of Spanish. The questions within each topic area are meant to serve as a guide but are not exhaustive.This assignment may be completed in EnglishDon't forget to cite your sources!  

  • History of the Spanish Language: What are the origins of the Spanish language as we know it today? See what you can find out about how Arabic, Latin, Greek, indigenous languages of the Americas, languages of African origin, English and any other linguistic influences have contributed to the development of modern Spanish.  Choose to focus on one of these influences, a few or even all of them.  How have these languages shaped the structure of Spanish, its vocabulary, its usage, etc.? Give some specific examples that you find interesting.  Ask a native speaker what they know about this topic. What interests you about their response?
  • Languages of Latin America and Spain:  What other languages are spoken in countries we think of as primarily Spanish speaking? Where do these "other" languages stand socially and politically? Are they of equal status?  Are they used in the media? In the schools? How do the languages manifest socially? Are they used primarily in the home/outside the home/within specific communities? Historically how have these languages been treated within these countries? If they are being maintained, how? If they are endangered, why? Can you find an audio or video clip to share so your classmates can hear an example of the language(s) you chose to focus on. What influence has Spanish had on these languages and vice versa?  How do the languages interact with each other?
  • Spanish in Africa:  What do you know about Spanish in Africa? What is the history of the Spanish language in Africa? Where in Africa is it currently spoken? What is its social status within these regions? How and by whom is it used? In the media? In commerce? Books? Music? Film? Can you find an audio or video clip that demonstrates the speech patterns of a Spanish speaker in Africa?
  • Language and Power: Language is power. What does this mean? How do language and power interact and what is the result? How does this power dynamic manifest itself with respect to the use of Spanish in the United States, throughout Latin America and in Spain? Where is Spanish the dominant language and where is it the subordinate language? How are these power dynamics created and maintained; why; and at what expense or by what gain? What role did language have in the colonization of Latin America? There are many more angles from which to explore within this theme. What interests you about the interaction of language and power as you study the Spanish language?
  • Regional varieties: Spanish abounds with variety: from country to country, from region to region, from city to city. What stands out about each particular variety and how did these varieties form? What are some of the distinguishing characteristics of given varieties? Focus your discussion on a region of interest.  It could be a country (eg. Chile, Argentina, Spain, Mexico, Colombia, Cuba, Puerto Rico,etc.); regions within a country (eg. Ecuadorean coast vs. Ecuadorian Andes); cities (eg. Guadalajara vs. Oaxaca in Mexico) or the area(s) of your choice. What can you find out about specific varieties of Spanish? Can you ask a native speaker to share their knowledge?  Are there stereotypes about the Spanish of a specific country or city? Can you share a recording that exemplifies the characteristics of this variety? What else did you find out? 
  • Slang:  Is slang important to learn for second language students?  Why or why not? How do you think it can help/hinder you in your journey to becoming fluent in Spanish? Are there slang expressions you have heard and wondered about? How did you know it was "slang". What can you learn about slang in Spanish? Who uses it and in what social contexts? Is it appropriate for you to use? With who? How do you know? Try asking a Spanish speaker to teach you the top 10 slang terms they think you should know and how to correctly use them in context.  Are there slang expressions that are specific to certain countries, regions or social groups?  
  • Spanglish: Do you love Spanglish? Do you hate it? Why? What have you heard others say about it?  Ask several bilingual English/Spanish speakers their opinions and compare their responses. Why do you think they have the attitude they do? Look up the term "code-switching" and see what you can learn. Listen to bilinguals speak and take note of any occurrences of Spanglish. Do you hear examples of Spanglish through the media? Does it appear to be presented in a positive or negative light? Share any examples you come across and reflect on them.  
  • Real Academia Española (RAE): What is the RAE? What does it do? What is the history of the RAE; how and when was it formed?  How does it enforce its regulations? Are changes put in place by the RAE universally accepted? What changes have been approved by the RAE in recent history? Can you find any documentation of cases when the RAE decisions were challenged or questioned? What changes is the RAE currently considering? Is the RAE a useful tool to you?  What interests or surprises you about the RAE?  Do we have a similar organization for the English language?  Why do you think this is?

Use the vocabulary and the structures you have learned. Look at the rúbrica beforehand to get a sense of what will be expected from you. To obtain the highest grade on the conversation, speak spontaneously as much as possible. Instead of reading a script try making a list of key words and phrases you want to remember to use that you can refer to during the recording.  

When you have recorded your conversation, turn it in through the submission link on the upper right of the screen. Only one person per group needs to submit the recording but be sure to include both students' names.

Follow this link for additional information on using UberConference.

(1) Create a presentation that includes all of the following:

  • Una cita, un dicho o un refrán. Choose a quote or a saying in Spanish as in introduction to your portfolio.
  • Una carta al alcalde: Include your final draft of the Composition.

  • Lo que pasó ayer. Record a video of yourself describing something that happened yesterday or recently in Spanish. Use the preterit and the imperfect as appropriate. This should be a non-scripted, spontaneous recording.  No scripted speeches will be accepted.  This portion of the portfolio showcases your speaking capacities.  You will be evaluated on your ability to communicate, not on your perfect or imperfect use of grammar.  Please speak for at least 2 minutes.

    • un plato latinoamericano o español que quieres probar y por qué quieres probarlo
    • un lugar que quieres visitar en el mundo hispanohablante y por qué quieres visitarlo

(3) By Saturday of week 3, you must look at and respond to presentations posted by at least two of your classmates. Your peer responses for this assignment are required and graded and should be in Spanish.  Here you will find a list of questions that you might want to consider when posting responses to your peers. This list is meant to be a guideline to help you focus on meaningful and engaging interactions on the discussion board but you do not need to limit yourself to this list: ¿Qué diferencias hay entre tu proyecto y los proyectos de tus compañeros? ¿En qué aspectos son similares? ¿Qué te gustó del proyecto y por qué? ¿Qué aprendiste del proyecto de tu compañero y que preguntas tienes? ¿Escogieron lugares similares para visitar o platos similares para probar? ¿Conocías la persona hispanohablante que escogió tu compañero?  ¿También te interesa conocer a esa persona? Etc.
