MLO 5: CULTURAL INTERNALIZATION & LANGUAGE IMMERSION
Students demonstrate that they have actively immersed themselves in authentic Hispanic cultural and linguistic environments and have internalized the language and cultural experiences, from which they have developed personal understanding and new perspectives of Hispanic communities. Students develop intercultural communication skills and strategies, and learn to adapt and respond in effective ways.
Pathway 1: Study Abroad: By participating in a study-abroad program in a Spanish-speaking country for one at least summer or one semester. Classes completed in the study-abroad experience may also be counted towards another MLO.
Pathway 2: Latino Heritage Community Project: By participating in and completing a community project in a local Latino community, in the target language.
MLO 5
Since I din’t have the opportunity to study abroad, I decided to do the Community Project ( path way 2). My main focus in this community project is a very relevant topic here in the United States. I decided to do this project because in the community where I grew up, there are many immigrants. I wanted to learn more about this important topic in our community. I conducted two interviews with two immigrants from my community. The interview consisted of some questions such as: why they and their parents decided to immigrate here to the United States?, what were their challenges that they faced once established here?. I used two books by Reyna Grande Across to the Hundred Mountains and the Distance between also by Reyna Grande. I made connections between these two literary texts and the interviews conducted. It was a unique experience since it gave me the opportunity to learn more about the immigrants in my community. In many of your answers I identify since I am also an immigrant. This project helped me analyze this issue of immigration more frilly, it was very interesting.
