Courses on July 22nd

In Spring 2020, transitioning from traditional face-to-face instruction to a completely online mode of instruction posed a challenge for HIN 507 in terms of both, teaching with a non-Roman script, as well as ensuring that students were engaged and participated actively during class Zoom sessions. To be successful, language courses require both, effective communication about and in the language from the teacher, and active student participation and involvement. The unexpected transition to a solely online mode of instruction required a rapid re-assessment, re-thinking and re-tooling of teaching style, course materials, projects, assignments and assessment. By sharing and discussing specific examples of actual projects and class activities, I shall demonstrate how approaching the transition to online teaching as an opportunity to tap on previously unavailable resources, and effectively employ previously untapped on but user-friendly technology and software like Panopto, Zoom and Google docs, to name a few, resulted in a productive and fulfilling experience for both, the teacher and the students.

This course will feature Latinx legends and Testimonio narrative genres to discuss how supernatural tales impact community socialization. Focusing on female protagonists, narrators, and tellers, students will construct their own “legend” texts in reverse, recasting the female/femme victim/villain in a new light, for a new generation. Students will theorize the “best” form their narrative will take—literary, visual, auditory etc.—to best reach the audience of their choosing. [Medium 21-50]
