Spanish Cultural Immersion

Because language is best appreciated in real-life, cultural contexts!

What is Spanish Cultural Immersion?

Spanish Cultural Immersion activities, events or sessions allow you to immerse yourself in Spanish culture! Examples of activities include the Hispanic Film Series, Tardes de Juego y Para Charlar, The Mixxer (online language exchange), the FLL Research Symposium, events listed on this webpage, and other activities listed on Canvas.

Why do I need to attend?

Five percent (5%) of your final grade for your SPAN 1001 through 2004 course must therefore be earned by participating in and reflecting on Hispanic culture. You will log a minimum of four hours of Spanish-related activities outside of class and record your reflections on Canvas. If you are unsure what to do, talk to your instructor.

How do I log my attendance?

Log your attendance by filling out the Spanish Cultural Immersion Activities Log. The log can be found on your Canvas course page, or you can download the log by clicking on the download icon above. The form must be printed and filled out in ink. Submit completed Activities Log + Reflection on Canvas no later than MON., NOV. 22.
