Central College

Online Spanish Course - Summer 2009

Spanish 342 - Modern Spanish-American Literature - The Latin American Short Story

Central College is pleased to announce that this summer it will offer an online Spanish course on the Latin American Short Story. In this course, students will discuss a variety of short stories by some of Latin America's most notable authors and also explore the theory and practice of the genre of the short story. Students will "meet" online with the professor on a regular basis and discuss as a group the stories and materials of the course in a chatroom.

Benefits of this course:

· Given that this is an online course, participants can take the course from the comfort of their own home or from any other location of their choice (great for those who are traveling during the summer!).

· This course will be offered for either undergraduate or graduate-level credit. The graduate-level option is designed intentionally for teachers of Spanish pursuing a Master's degree and/or looking for professional development opportunities.

· This course will explore short stories by some of Latin America's most celebrated authors, including (but not limited to) Horacio Quiroga, Jorge Luis Borges, Carlos Fuentes, Augusto Monterroso, Julio Cortázar and Gabriel García Márquez.

Hello everyone...I am in need of some help.  Just wondering if anyone has a project idea for past subjunctive.  I am really looking for something that gets the students talking...maybe slides of pictures and they have to say/describe things?  I can't think of a theme or topic.  Any help would be much appreciated.  Thanks so much!  (The vocab that goes with this is dictators, governments, terrorism)

Amy,
    I dont have a big project.  I do a couple of writing topics with the students with imperfect subjunctive.  I also have several pop songs in Spanish that lend themselves really well to seeing/hearing the imperfect subjunctive in context.  If interested, email me at school at jen...@se-polk.k12.ia.us and I can send you a list of the CDs/songs as well more info about the writings. I have a few pair activities and some other stuff as well. It's no problem if that's not what you are looking for and don't get back to me.  I assume you teach Spanish!?

Hi, Amy,
 
Any activity that you might have with the present subjunctive can be applied to the past subjunctive.  The only thing you have to ask is for the students to talk about it in the past.  For example: ¿Qué harías si....? (Contrary to fact statements)  ¿Qué era necesario que hicieras cuando ibas a un campamento de verano? (impersonal expressions with a change of subject), etc.
