Spanish 455 - Community, Story, Translation

The course examines some of the ways in which Spanish-English/Portuguese-English translations of children's literature and bilingual storytelling may be applied to facilitate inclusive public storytime programs that celebrate heritage languages and linguistic diversity. Through extensive readings, discussions and in-class activities, students will investigate such topics as multilingualism, children's literature in translation and storytelling. This course involves a crucial community engagement component that provides an opportunity for the students to be involved in a community engaged project outside the classroom that is guided by appropriate input from our community partner, The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art.
