Detailed Information
SPAN10110 - Reading Hispanic Texts (Credit)* - 2017
This module is for all level-one students of Spanish. Texts are read in Spanish. For those who are beginners in Spanish, translations, synopses and vocabulary lists will be used. This will aid students in their reading, comprehension and literary appreciation of the original Spanish texts. The module will entail the study of various genres of literature.
The aim of this module is to enable students to become independent readers and critics of short stories, more extended narratives and other genres written in modern Spanish. Using close reading skills, students learn to reflect upon their own readings, to use appropriate terminology drawn from the language of literary criticism and to express their analyses in carefully crafted commentaries, essays, as well as in a seminar setting.
