Course Narrative
This course was one of my most challenging courses that I took during my undergrad career. This class did help me a lot with capstone project. Through this course I was introduced to Spanish linguistics. I was presented to the principal branches of linguistic study, as it pertains to Spanish: the sound system (phonetics and phonology), the structure of words (morphology), and the structure of sentences (syntax). Additionally, attention is paid to bilingualism, especially Spanish in the US, and how Spanish is spoken/written differently by various social groups (sociolinguistics) and in various Spanish-speaking countries (dialectology). In the future I would like to keep taking courses like this one in order to obtain my masters. Through a variety of tests, essays, projects and presentations I was able to fulfill MLO 2 in order to develop an understanding of the structure of the Spanish language and is able to use an appropriate level of formality according to the situation, whether in writing or in speech. In the future I would like to take more courses like this one. Even though I did take six courses that focused on language and linguistics knowledge I still have a lot more to learn about.
