Spanish Studies at Belmont The Department of Literature and Language at Belmont University offers both a Major and a Minor in Spanish. The Spanish language courses are currently being taught by Dr. David C. Julseth, Professor Kim L. Jackson, and several highly-qualified adjunct instructors, using the most innovative techniques of communicative language teaching. In addition to these Spanish classes, there are courses offered on Hispanic literature, culture, and history. A growing Spanish literature collection at the Bunch Library is a further enhancement to these advanced studies. A survey of literature from a wide variety of Hispanic countries and backgrounds.
Students practice communication skills through conversations in class and composition assignments.
Students review newspapers, magazines, televised news programs, radio broadcasts, advertisements, and Internet sites that are produced in the Spanish language. Through Cuban literature, video, internet, guest speakers, and contact with Cubans living in Nashville we will explore what it means to be Cuban. Belmont Abroad Each summer Belmont University offers a study abroad program to learn Spanish and take courses in literature, history, or business. The location alternates between Spain, Mexico or Costa Rica. The Belmont students abroad live with host families, take Spanish courses for credit, and travel to places of historic and cultural interest.
