The General Education Renaissance Project from the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Oregon (https://cas.uoregon.edu/renaissance/) is currently funding an applied linguist, Dr. Robert L. Davis, CASLS advisory board member and Professor of Spanish, a sociolinguist, Dr. Claudia Holguín Mendoza, Assistant Professor of Spanish, and an historian, Dr. Julie Weise, Assistant Professor of History, to create new General Education (GE) courses for Spanish heritage speakers and mid-level second language (L2) learners that challenge students to utilize their language skills while acquiring social science content. These classes encourage students to comprehend spoken Spanish from different countries while learning about geography, history, and language variation. In the courses, they analyze Spanish-language primary source documents on the Latino experience in the United States and communicate orally in Spanish while learning about the phenomenon of Spanglish. The goal is that students gain confidence in their language abilities, develop their critical thinking skills, discover the importance of context and inference in language learning and speaking, and gain an appreciation for Spanish-speaking cultures in the U.S. and Hispanophone world. Current course titles are: Spanish Around the World, Spanglish as a U.S. Speech Community, and Latinos in the Americas.
