LAC 3360/Methods of Language Teaching (formerly LAC 3350)
One course must be in cultural studies and/or translation:
A survey of various teaching methods in second language instruction. Students become familiar with the theories of language learning that underlie these methodologies. Open to all students interested in second language teaching methods.
An introduction to the study of linguistics, with a focus on Spanish. Students examine the theoretical aspects of numerous subfields of linguistics—phonetics, phonology, morphology, and syntax—and begin to apply this knowledge to the fields of dialectology and sociolinguistics. Taught in Spanish.
An introduction to basic linguistic concepts, providing a background for understanding how language works and is used in everyday life. Topics include core areas of linguistics (e.g., phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics) and more applied areas of language study (e.g., sociolinguistics and second language acquisition).
An exploration of literary translation for the contemporary moment. Students learn the basics of literary translation craft. Knowledge of languages other than English is not required for this course. Readings include Mary Jo Bang’s translation of Dante’s Purgatorio, Cecilia Rossi’s translations of Alejandra Pizarnik, and Victor Montejo’s translations of Jakaltek Mayan folktales. Students develop their own literary translations.
