MLO 3: LITERARY AND CULTURAL KNOWLEDGE
The student develops a reasonable understanding of the ways of thinking (ideas, beliefs, attitudes, values, philosophies), the behavioral practices (patterns of social interactions) and the cultural products – both tangible and intangible (for example, art, history, literature, music) — of Hispanic cultures.
There are two pathways by which this outcome can be fulfilled:
The student completes between two and six courses (depending on his or her choice of emphasis, as either in language and linguistics knowledge or literary and cultural knowledge) in Hispanic literature, culture or society. General areas to choose from are: literature, the social sciences (anthropology, geography, history, political systems), art history, music history, religion or other nonSpanish courses specific to Hispanic culture or society.
With prior approval and guidance from WLC faculty, the student may opt for a more individual
pathway. He or she may choose to independently study, research and analyze four of the following areas as they are reflected in the civilization or national culture of the language chosen to study: architecture, dance, dress, fiction, healing processes, high art, issues of gender and racial equity, music, national history, poetry, political systems, popular art, religious beliefs, theatre.
The MLO 3: Literacy and Culture, is one of the most interesting MLO’s to fulfill. To satisfy this MLO I took the following classes; SPAN 301s, SPAN 304, SPAN 365, SPAN 426 and SBS 325. Throughout these classes I had the opportunity to expand my learning. I learned a lot about religion, art, culture, language and traditions. I had the opportunity to inquire a little more about historical events. I learned a little more about Argentina, Spain, Puerto Rico and Mexico. Literature is one of the main tools to know the world, is the universal way to communicate. A book, a poem, a story, an essay helps us to know other worlds, other traditions other ideas and other cultures.
These are some classes I took that are part of this MLO:
SPAN 301S: Service Learning in the Chicano/Latino Community
SPAN 304: Introduction to Hispanic Literature;
SPAN 365: Chicano Novel
SPAN 426: Narrativa Hispanoamericana.
