Category: Foreign Language Study

Noticias, which means "news" in English, is an exciting new advanced intermediate level program, developed to serve as a gateway to upper level courses. Authentic readings culled from sources around the Spanish-speaking world, in conjunction with integrated authentic video segments, provide rich, engaging content for students that portray Hispanic culture in a fresh light. The goals of Noticias include: 1) to engage students in interesting and motivating content; 2) to shift the focus from grammar learning to learning grammar through communication; and 3) to help students begin to analyze and understand other cultures perspectives on issues that affect them in their personal and professional lives.
