The Oregon State University College of Education is excited to announce two special topic courses for summer 2015:

 Spanish in the Community — This experiential-learning course exposes you to the cultural, social, linguistic, and political issues that are relevant to Latin@ communities in Oregon. It is designed to immerse you in the richness and complexity of Latin@ experiences.

 Biliteracy in the Schools — This Spanish/English bilingual course asks you to explore equity and bias in classroom language practices. You will learn to leverage social and academic linguistic competencies to enhance literacy development.

Although these courses will be taught bilingually in English and Spanish, they are open to interested educators at any and all levels of Spanish language proficiency. The Spanish in the Community course will be offered over the course of one week at the OSU campus in Corvallis. For the Biliteracy in the Schools class, a substantial portion of the course will be online, with two days of face-to-face time in Corvallis.
