Who can take these courses?

Students who have previous experience with the Spanish language (i.e., whether they learned it in a natural environment, studied abroad, or grew up/lived in a Spanish-speaking country).

What are the goals of this program?

Foster and encourage our students' development in the diverse variations of “Spanishes” used in the Spanish-speaking world.
Meet our students' specific needs, those being:
- literacy development (reading and writing)
- use of “translanguaging,” the act performed by bilinguals of accessing different autonomous languages (e.g., Spanish in the U.S. and English) to maximize communication among our communities in Texas
- discovery of learning opportunities both inside and outside the classroom
