Major Learning Outcomes
The Spanish Major at CSUMB has 6 Major Learning Outcomes (MLOs). Please see the descriptions below and my work toward the MLO is linked above.
MLO 1: Language Proficiency
The student sustains performance in speaking, listening, reading and writing at the Advanced level of language proficiency, as
outlined by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages
(ACTFL):
MLO 2: Language and Linguistic Knowledge
The student develops an
understanding of the structure of the Spanish language and is able to use an
appropriate level of formality according to the situation, whether in writing or
in speech.
MLO 3: Literary and Cultural Knowledge
The student develops a
reasonable understanding of the ways of thinking (ideas, beliefs, attitudes,
values, philosophies), the behavioral practices (patterns of social
interactions) and the cultural products – both tangible and intangible (for
example, art, history, literature, music) — of Hispanic cultures.
MLO 4: Secondary Cultural Knowledge
In addition to the Spanish language and Hispanic
cultures, the student demonstrates a general knowledge of a socio-cultural group
other than a Hispanic one or mainstream American culture. The student develops a
basic understanding of the ways of thinking (ideas, beliefs, attitudes, values,
philosophies), the behavioral practices (patterns of social interactions) and
the cultural products – both tangible and intangible (for example, art, history,
literature, music) – of the second culture.
MLO 5: Cultural Praxis (Cultural
Internalization and Language Immersion)
The student demonstrates that he or
she has been actively immersed in and has internalized Hispanic culture.
MLO 6: Information Technology Literacy
The student demonstrates an ability to use
technology in support of his or her scholarly work, including gathering,
organizing and analyzing sources and employing appropriate delivery techniques
in both written and oral formats.
