Idea
The course focuses on widening Spanish vocabulary and some grammar structures using comparative exercises that use similar lexicons and similar or corresponding grammar structures in English. The main idea is that students can enlarge their Spanish language skills, mainly oral, by learning and practicing similar or identical words (cognates), and similar grammar / corresponding constructions in English. A good development of this project is talking, in English and Spanish, about the language, cultural, and political relations between the English-speaking world and the Spanish-speaking world, especially at the points where they directly meet: e.g., US Hispanics, Gibraltar, Guantanamo, US-Mexican Wall, the Falklands/Malvinas.
I want to thank my UO students for their cooperation during this course.
