LL 313 - Language and Contexts (2)
Engages the students with material that enhances their political and intercultural awareness through the appreciation and study of varied histories and traditions. The course provides the students in Languages and Literatures with a forum to reflect across nations and cultures. Through the study and evaluation of authentic materials and with the exposure to current theories on cultural criticism and linguistics, the goal is to explore how media —history, the arts, other forms of communication— reflects and influences language and culture. The approaches to these inquiries are diverse so the specific content of the class will vary depending on the instructor. Course is taught in English. Prerequisite: One course from FREN 230, GERM 220 or SPAN 220; or permission of instructor. Fall.
