ASSIGNMENT#3: LISTENING REFLECTIONS

It is important for you to use your Spanish every week this summer using the provided format. Refer to the attachments from the introduction email titled “tabla de redacciones” and “useful websites to maintain and improve your Spanish proficiency.” Based on the list I have included with links, you may choose to listen to a radio program or podcast, watch a movie, soap opera, TV series or soccer match, read an article and/or an excerpt of literature, blog, etc. IN SPANISH. Please choose topics that are of interest to you! In addition, please use a variety of sources so that you are maintaining all of your language skills. (i.e. do not only choose videos). Vary the type of material to which you listen. For example, listen to things related to the environment, politics, economics, tourism, etc. At the beginning, it may be hard to understand the first time so you may listen to it more than once, take notes, etc. **Feel free to watch a “telenovela” with other students taking the class. The reflection, however, must be completed by individual students.
