COURSE NARRATIVE
The SPAN 305 class fulfilled MLOs 1 and 2. In this class, I had the opportunity to practice my language, listening, reading and writing skills in Spanish. Dr. Oliva provided us information about business, professions and jobs people perform in the Latin American society. I learned a lot of new vocabulary words related to the workplace that will help me to better communicate in my future job. Also, we had a lot of short presentations and class discussions that helped me to improve my communication skills and better articulate my responses in a conversation. In addition, Dr. Oliva showed us short videos about people working in different areas and the importance of teamwork. This class was complemented with writing tests and short writing assignments that helped me correct my grammar errors and effectively use new vocabulary words. On another hand, we had different assignments related to different jobs and professions. One of the most important assignments for me was to fill out an employment application because I learned the type of information I have to incorporate on it before applying for a job (SPAN 305: Employment Application). To conclude, this class was very interesting for me because it provided me with a lot of information about different professions. Also, I learned the importance of having a good environment in the workplace.
