Forming a new SIG: Spanish for the Professions
The mission of this SIG is to provide a forum for the sharing of research and pedagogy related to the teaching of Spanish for special professional purposes. Goals:
- To share ideas and approaches to the teaching of these specialized courses
- To develop a better understanding of the needs of the Hispanic population in regards to professional services in their language
- To explore linguistic and cultural considerations that need to be addressed in the teaching of these courses
- To examine career tracks that may benefit from language courses for specific purposes
I am signing this form in support of forming an ACTFL Special Interest Group (SIG) on the topic of Spanish for the Professions.
