Two courses in the La Salle University (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) M.A. Program in Bilingual-Bicultural (Spanish) Studies are described: Urban Spanish and Caribbean Literature. The urban Spanish component consists of five courses, one of which is intensive, to provide broad exposure to the technical or practical Spanish encountered in the student's profession. Listening and speaking skills are emphasized. Cultural readers, introduced in the fourth course, serve as the basis for cultural discussions. The course in Caribbean literature is designed to reinforce the program's bilingual/bicultural orientation and is taught in English and Spanish. The syllabus includes representative works in drama, the essay, the novel, and poetry by eminent writers from Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Colombia. Its focus is on Caribbean Spanish and Spanglish and social problems such as poverty and unemployment, drug addiction, alcoholism, social alienation, discrimination, and crime. This course also provides a forum for the kind of cross-cultural communication taught in other program segments. (MSE)
