Description

Manual de Redaccion is intended to allow Spanish students to have a more personalized and effective learning experience adjusted to the specific challenges they encounter in today's global world. Furthermore, the content of our material responds to recent changes in the curriculum of the Spanish section of the Department of Modern Languages at UTA. I expect this material will guarantee our students' success by providing them with valuable support as they transition from 3000 level courses to 4000 level ones in the areas of international business, bilingual education, Spanish linguistics, literature, translation, and culture. The chapters revolve around two main topics ("Los vicios de diccion" [The Stylistic Vices] and "Los falsos cognados" [False Cognates]) with a set of exercises to enhance the student learning. To complement the student learning experience, each chapter includes two essays related to those grammar topics under discussion. The selected essays include the following: 1) Introduce students to Hispanic culture; 2) Explore some of the most relevant topics for Hispanic societies at large; 3) Foster the critical analysis of literary texts to enable the students to learn how to structure an essay, and provide knowledge about rhetorical and discursive strategies; and 4) Provide the students with the tools to conduct research in the field of Hispanic Studies. In addition, this project is aligned with the mission of Hispanic Serving Institutions to enhance retention and graduation rates of first-generation college students through the creation of mentorship programs.
