Spanish Associate in Art for Transfer
The Associate in Arts in Spanish for Transfer, also called the Spanish AA-T degree,
will provide students with a strong foundation to develop their skills at high-intermediate
or advanced levels in Spanish according to the Five C’s from the World-Readiness Standards
for Learning Languages created by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign
Languages (ACTFL): communication, cultures, connections, comparisons, and communities.
Students will acquire language proficiency through the three modes of communication:
presentational (speaking, writing), interpretative (listening/watching and reading),
and interpersonal (speaking and writing). Furthermore, students will produce the language,
exchange information, and negotiate and clarify meaning in Spanish by analyzing and
discussing daily life situations and academic topics related to the history and culture
of the diverse Hispanic world. In addition, students will develop global competence
by investigating, explaining, and analyzing current global issues that affect the
Hispanic world. Also, students will identify and reflect on different cultural perspectives
and practices in order to successfully interact with diverse people from around the
world.
