We know that patients and clients who receive culturally responsive treatment and services have greater satisfaction, greater trust in their providers, and improved health outcomes. Students in this course will have the opportunity to develop advanced linguistic and cultural skills that will allow them to use Spanish in health interactions, considering the sociocultural contexts of client encounters. A special focus will be placed on culturally responsive counseling skills, including medical and motivational interviewing. Readings are interdisciplinary (e.g., nursing, speech-language pathology, medicine, multicultural psychology) and will include a combination of peer-reviewed research articles, podcast episodes, testimonios, and popular media. Specific skills to be developed include 1) responding appropriately to dialect and register variation and 2) discourse strategies for active listening, patient activation, and building a therapeutic alliance in Spanish.

Methods and techniques for teaching Spanish and Portuguese language at the college level.  Three-week intensive workshop prior to beginning of semester followed by a 2-hr seminar during semester. 
Prereq: Teaching associate in Spanish and Portuguese, or permission of instructor. 
The primary objective of this course is to support new Graduate Teaching Associates (GTAs) in their role as instructors in the second language classroom. The initial weeks will provide guidance and practice in immediate matters such as classroom management (e.g., lesson planning, record keeping, student behavior, etc.) and assessment (e.g., testing, proctoring, grading both on paper and online, etc.). Subsequent weeks will focus on the principles and practices of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) as well as key constructs from second language (L2) acquisition theory. Students will complete worksheets and write brief expository essays about the content of readings and in-class discussions. They will create and exchange activities and assessments grounded in the principles of CLT for use in their own classrooms. Finally, they will observe and analyze classes taught by experienced L2 instructors in our SPPO Language Programs (LPs), which include Spanish, Spanish for Heritage Learners, Portuguese, Quechua and Catalan. These combined course elements aim to increase instructor awareness, confidence, and performance, and they provide a solid foundation for well-informed instructional decisions in our LPs and beyond.
