MLO REFLECTIVE NARRATIVE
Here is the description for the MLO: In order to complete research articles and data-driven small-scale research investigations relevant to contemporary issues in these sectors, students enhance their knowledge of core principles in the subjects of Hispanic and Applied Linguistics. This MLO is fulfilled by SPAN 323 Hispanic Sociolinguistics, which I took in spring 2022. The class was taught by Professor Rebecca Pozzi. The course description is an introduction to basic concepts in sociolinguistics, or the study of language in its social setting. It explores the reasons language varies from region to region, group to group, individual to individual, and situation to situation as well as why language changes over time, taking into consideration the connections between who we are, how we live, and how we speak. It focuses on the symbolic value of the Spanish language as an expression of group identity based on region, gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic class, age, and other ways of defining group affiliation.
