1. PURPOSE, GOALS, AND OBJECTIVES OF THE LANGUAGE PROGRAM
The objective of the Spanish language program addresses the basic tenet of a liberal arts education: the development of a critical thinking approach towards the analysis of language in society. This objective is framed in an overall worldwide trend towards political and economical internationalization and an increasingly diverse and multicultural work environment.
The Spanish language program focuses on the development of multilingual literacies through the analysis and use of Spanish as a second language. The program focuses on the development of three major types of competencies (all equally ranked in terms of importance):
(1) linguistic competence (Spanish phonetics/phonology, morphosyntax, lexicon, discourse, etc.)
(2) communication / interactional competence (sociocultural uses of the language, pragmatics, cultural background / perspectives)
(3) metalinguistic competence (language as a conceptual, symbolic system)
2. COURSE DESCRIPTION, GOALS, AND OBJECTIVES
A. SPN 611D is the third course in The University of Texas lower-division Spanish program. This is a six-credit course.

Digital Projects
Mike Acuña Library
The Graduate Student Organization of the Spanish and Portuguese Department at The University of Texas at Austin created this library in memory of fellow student Mike Acuña, who passed away in 2010.
The main purpose of the library is to provide the students in the MA program with the core catalogue needed for the first years of study, as well as for the comprehensive exams in Hispanic and Luso-Brazilian Literature.
The site, designed in collaboration with my colleague Cristine Tamayo, contains the catalogue, and provides information on how to use the library, and ways to donate.
18th Colloquium on Hispanic and Luso-Brazilian Literatures and Linguistics
Since 1987 the graduate students of the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at UT have organized a colloquium whose mission is to provide graduate students with a space to present current research interests and to share all forms of work-in-progress.
In 2009 I co-chaired, with Enrique González-Conty, Ashwini Ganesham and Iera Zinkunegui, the Colloquium. Cristine Tamayo and I were in charge of setting up its website.
312L Bilingual Wiki
Media scholar Henry Jenkis says over 65% of American teens have produced media, and a third of them have shared it online. With this in mind I decided to use wikis as a teaching tool in my language classes back in 2008.
This is the wiki I worked on with my Spanish for Heritage Speakers students in Fall 2010.
