| Title | Superior-Level Spanish Resource: Human Rights in Latin America |
| Body | From http://larcnet.sdsu.edu/tech.php?page=humanrights The Human Rights project focuses on understanding human rights issues in Latin America (Argentina, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico) by examining authentic Spanish language multinational communications and discourse. The main objectives of this project combine two domains of inquiry: regional political studies focused on Latin America and on assessing on-line means to acquire advanced to superior level reading and writing skills through digital reading activities and computer mediated communication (CMC) with other learners. Through the interactive exploration of language materials, learners will establish a point of view that is substantiated by on-line research and documentation. Students will be encouraged to reflect on the meaning of these historical and political events to their own lives, as well as to those of the speakers portrayed in the media. They will formulate questions for interlocutors in other universities and in other countries and articulate informed opinions about current events, perhaps negotiating meaning with native speakers in order to form these opinions. They will engage in critical thinking activities and to learn to judge the veracity and relevance of the point of view of the creators of the various websites offered in the annotated bibliographic references.
