Courses Taken: SPAN 303, 345, & Ling 392 Reflection: For Major Learning Outcome 2, I was able to learn about morphology, syntax, and lexicons in my classes SPAN 345 and LING 392. In SPAN 345, we got to go over the bilingualism around the Spanish speaking community, in the course we were also assigned other dialects that are spoken around the Spanish speaking countries. It was due to this course that helped my capstone partner and I to pick our capstone topic. In SPAN 303: Adv Grammar, I was able to understand the importance of the grammar in Spanish. Although, I knew the basics about the grammar, I was able to get more practice on this topic overall which help me in my future career choice as a high school Spanish teacher.
