Outside the Classroom
La Tertulia
La Tertulia is a weekly conversation group offered to high intermediate and advanced classes. We discuss different topics related to Latin America and Spain. We also compare and contrast some issues with the American culture. Sometimes we discuss issues related to language learning and sociology related to language. We use some interesting videos and/or short readings to have students engaged in conversation. Sometimes we have snacks or typical food from a Hispanic country so that students broaden their horizon on the Hispanic culture. Heritage and native speakers are welcome to join!
We will meet every Thursday from 2:00pm to 2:45pm in Draper 243 beginning 9/1.
