MLO 2: LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTIC KNOWLEDGE
The student develops 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.
The student completes between two and six courses (depending on his or her choice of emphasis, as either language and linguistics knowledge or literary and cultural knowledge) related to the Spanish language and linguistics. These courses deal with: the sound system of Spanish, the history of Spanish, advanced grammar, Spanish English translation, a general introduction to Spanish linguistics, Spanish for professional application (medical, legal, etc. spheres), composition and conversation.
In MLO 2: Language and Linguistic Knowledge, I took 3 linguist classes which were SPAN 313, SPAN 315 and SPAN 301. These classes were really challenging for me. One for grammar, one for phonology and the other for translation. These three classes made me see many of my mistakes in both English and Spanish. I had the opportunity to learn the different translation techniques, accentuation rules, verb tenses, morphology and syntax. These classes open doors to a deeper understanding of what Spanish is. It shows us that a language does not only consist of knowing how to speak it, that a language is deeper and has many fields of study.
These are some classes I took that are part of this MLO:
SPAN 301: Composition and Oral Practice
SPAN 313: Introduction to Spanish Linguistic
SPAN 315: Introduction to Translation (English/Español)
