DESCRIPTION
This course uses Spanish cinema as a vehicle to expose you to wide variety of cultural aspects. You will be able to experience first-hand cultural representations shown on the big screen. It is through the analysis of these representations that you will gain intercultural competence as well as a thorough understanding of the social and cultural realities of your new surroundings.
To give you further opportunities to develop your linguistic and intercultural skills, this course will expose you to interaction with the local community as you learn about Spanish society through cinema, and thus learning Spanish gives you a privileged opportunity to develop sensitivity towards cultural differences and to understand the ways in which culture and language interlock. In this sense you will be encouraged to exploit the value of these lessons not just as a useful aid to your progress in other courses at the GlobalCampus, but as a set of tools for unlocking a wide range of intercultural discoveries whilst living and studying abroad.
Your motivation, cultural curiosity, constant attention and dynamic participation are indispensable ingredients for making real and observable improvements in your cross-cultural competency. You are expected not only to come prepared to class, but also to discuss the new cultural facts or discoveries you have encountered inside and outside of class.
