Thinkinga bit more, however, and this decrease in brain activity should make sense. As you learn something, your brain wires more specialized circuitry for solving the problem with less effort. Using less of your brain is an advantage, since that is more efficient.
This also explains why focus is so important in learning. When the subjects started learning the frontal and parietal cortices, believed to be involved in the control of attention and planning, are considerably more active. After reaching proficiency in the skill, however, this additional activation goes down considerably.
Consider language learning again. When learning new words, in the beginning, I often found it valuable to use specialized tools such as spaced repetition systems or the keyword mnemonic. These make sense as being beginner mental strategies to the problem of new vocabulary.
This suggests that the mental strategies to speak the language changed at least twice in my learning of the word. First using the mnemonic. Then using a remembered translation pair. Finally using the word directly. Each, probably involving less brain activation as more specialized circuits developed.
Could it be that effective learning is mostly about finding the right cascade of these mental strategies? Short-term, effortful strategies that can be employed quickly, slowly being replaced by less effortful but more slowly developed long-term strategies.
You will also learn about Spanish culture and local traditions through personal experience, selected readings, and assignments. At the end of June, the festivities of San Juan take place: In every neighborhood, the people of Alicante build beautiful statues of paper-mache, which are burned on the last night festival to celebrate the arrival of summer. Together with the bonfires, there are stunning fireworks, floral offerings, and parades. This is the most important celebration for the city of Alicante and a great cultural experience.
The ten credits are awarded for Foreign Study in Spanish (TSPAN 199, 299 or 393) and will depend on the student's previous study of Spanish and level of proficiency. TSPAN 393 can be used for the Hispanic Studies major and minor at UW Tacoma. The TSPAN 299 course prepares students to take 300-level Spanish classes when they return to campus. Ten credits of TSPAN 199 is an excellent starting point for beginners or near beginners and also satisfies the UW Tacoma language requirement for graduation.
Students will need to take a placement exam to determine the level of coursework they will complete in Spain. All grammar, conversation and culture classes are taught by experienced native speakers. The classes are limited to no more than 12 students per class. Students are in class approximately 25 hours per week. Credit will be granted upon satisfactory completion of the course. Students will have quizzes and exams on Spanish grammar and vocabulary, and will be graded on their homework and in-class work.
For the independent study, students will complete readings and assignments under the supervision of Dr. Alcaide Ramrez. Students will be observing Spanish culture, interviewing several Spaniards and writing reports on your findings. This is an opportunity both to interact with people and practice Spanish outside the classroom and immerse yourself in the Spanish culture.
All work will be completed by the end of term A, allowing students the option of taking term B courses during summer quarter. The program runs from June 10 - July 16, 2017 (this includes days for air travel).
Students are expected to participate in all group activities, to attend all group events, and accompany the group on field tours. Students will be in class from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 PM every day. On certain days, we will have special activities. Most afternoon and evenings are "free time", but students should keep in mind that they will have homework assignments to complete. It is important that students understand that this is a university course and the purpose of the program is academic.
While in Alicante, students will be housed with carefully chosen Spanish families. From Monday to Sunday, the host family provides students with three meals a day. Students planning to eat out during the week or to be away from their host families on weekends are responsible for paying the additional expense of those meals. Home stays provide students with a safe and comfortable environment that allows for interaction with Spaniards and a rich cultural experience. Costs are based on single occupancy.
Undergraduate and graduate students from any UW campus may apply. Students will be selected on the basis of their demonstrated interest in Spanish language study, their ability to work independently, and their willingness to engage in intercultural exchange.
Applications are due on March 20, 2017. Applicants will be notified of acceptance decisions by April 15. Once accepted to the program, applicants will need to confirm their participation in the program by April 25. Click the "Apply Now" button below to begin.
