New Courses Developed |
|
|
Life and Culture in Spain., USC Study Abroad Valencia Program., The course focused on a variety of aspects that define Spanish life and culture. From family to food, and from politics to regional identity, the students were able to contrast this theoretical vision of "Spain," with their own in situ experiences.
The course also held sessions to help students to build up their vocabulary and to improve/review some key aspects of Spanish grammar and structure., 06/16/2012-07/13/2012
