To complete the MLO 1: Language and Proficiency, I had to take different courses, I took; SPAN 301, SPAN 304 and SPAN 315. During my journey throughout these courses I was able to apply the new knowledge I was acquiring to be able to understand a bit more of what I was being tough. All of the course requiere me to really do my best because I had to show the skills I was learning and how I was going to apply this skills once I went to the real world. The way I was able to show that I was acquiring these skills was my doing presentations thorough the semester in each class. Also, the professor would evaluate us when made us work in groups. They would walk around and observe the way we were expressing ourselves and if I said something in a wrong way. The professor would step in and make any corrections need to help me continue improving my language proficiency. All this type of work helped me improve my skills that I will need to be able to persuade my career and be successful thanks to the work my professors made me do.
Here are some classes I took that are part of this MLO:
SPAN 301:Composition and Oral Practice
SPAN 304: Introduction to Hispanic Literature
SPAN 315: Introduction to Translation English/Español
