Course Narrative: In this course Span 303 students will be able to use linguistic terminology to identify Spanish constructions in discourse. Besides that students will be able to analyze the use of grammatical structures in Spanish discourse. Also, they will be able to distinguish between prescriptive and descriptive approaches to grammar. And they will be able to describe examples of linguistic variation in Spanish. Lastly, students will be able to explain how socio political factors impact language attitudes. We can observe how this class gives us a sample of the open mind that shows us our own linguistic identity, and how this identity also gives touches of racism to the way of speaking without noticing that in all languages a dialect of them is spoken since He does not show perfect English or Spanish and even so there are people of a social level who discriminate against certain ways of speaking, saying that they are incorrect and uneducated. For this class we did an essay in which shows the dialect of the Spanish language and how it has different types of speaking. Course evidence:
