Course Description: This course will first explore the nature of bilingualism, focusing on its neurolinguistic, psycholinguistic, and linguistic aspects. Students will examine the most important concepts and research questions in these areas. In addition, the class will focus on bilingualism in the United States and the Spanish-speaking world, including the examination of bilingual education programs (e.g., immersion programs) and important political matters connected to them.
Reflection: Bilingualism in the Spanish Speaking World: This course covers MLO 1 & 2- Language Proficiency and Linguistics. At the beginning of this course, I learned about the aspects of linguistics we were going to focus on as a class. Such as: bilingualism, neurolinguistics, psycholinguistics and linguistics. Now this class its helping me in my capstone project because I'm focusing in the maintenance of the Spanish language in the United States. Topics that we studied in this class are really good connectors with my investigation.
