This course offers students a fresh approach to the advanced Spanish language. Its dynamic structure makes it suitable for a variety of class discussions in film, literature, and writing. This course is fundamentally a literary reader, but uniquely rich with additional content in film, offering an unusual integration of literature, culture and film while also focusing students on critical thinking, interpretation, speaking, and writing skills. Each theme-based lesson features a full-length film or an episode from a feature film and three to four reading passages, all chosen for their notable importance and relevance in the field. Prerequisite: Departmental recommendation
