SPN 405 Spanish through Hispanic Cinema

Fall Semester, every other year

The primary goal of this course, taught in Spanish, is to help students improve their Spanish language skills. The vehicle through which this goal is achieved is Hispanic film representing a wide range of countries and genres. As students view, discuss, and analyze the films, they will gain not only language skills, but also will develop their interpretive and critical-thinking skills, explore social and political problems, and gain insight into cultural perspectives of the Hispanic world as manifested in Hispanic cinema. Prerequisite: Six credits in Spanish above the 200 level or permission of the instructor.

3 credit hours
