Course description: SPAN 377P is taught in conjunction with EDUC 377M, Teaching English as a Foreign Language Study Abroad and will serve as the Chilean cultural component of the program. The course has a dual focus:
1. Culture-general principles about cultural awareness and adjustment
2. Culture-specific knowledge about different aspects of Chilean (history, geography, language, food, film, art, music, dance, politics, and social movements).
The course will explore ways to define and describe culture and equip students to engage in critical reflection in order to understand the cultural basis of our behaviors, which may be hidden or otherwise taken-for-granted. Students will engage in self‐reflective activities based on readings, films, lectures and field-based ethnographic tasks designed to enhance an understanding of cultural values (one’s own and others’).
Your first assignment is to create your own blog for this course.
Introductory Blog: Create your own blog, and write your first blog post introducing yourself, giving information about why you signed up for this experience and what your hopes are for this trip.
