Spanish Film and Language II

An intermediate study of Spanish through Spanish language films. The course emphasizes the acquisition of language functions, vocabulary, idioms and cultures through an introduction to cinema from the Spanish-speaking world. Students study representative Spanish language films, selected from films by Schroeder, Gutirrez Alea, Gonzlez Irritu, Almodovar, Buuel, and Puenzo. These are the subject of class discussions, dramatizations and oral and written assignments. Students practice listening comprehension, study idiomatic speech, analyze cultural content and examine historical contexts. The instructor and the students conduct the class in Spanish. This is the non-credit option of SPA 255. http://greenfieldcc.3dcartstores.com/Spanish-Film-and-Language-II_p_695.html
