The outcomes for this MLO have been supported by the following courses listed below:
SPAN 303: Advance Spanish Grammar, SPAN 305: Spanish for the Professions, LING 392: Nature of Language & Language Acquisition
Through completing this MLO in the various classes listed above I was able to develop my knowledge of the fundamental concepts of Hispanic and Applied Linguistics. Within this MLO I was able to grasp the structure in which language is developed and how it is applied. When I began the program I didn’t really know what language was and how it is used, through the various courses I was able to figure it out. Within the MLO I wish to continue developing my vocabulary in the professional world. I want to specifically look at the profession of physical therapy because I want to be a physical therapist that is able to fully explain myself in both English and Spanish. The areas that I found the most challenging within the MLO was learning the application of linguistics. I was able to overcome the challenge by asking for help from classmates around me to see if they were able to explain it in a manner that made more sense, and they were able to do that for me. Overall this MLO has helped me grow my personal intellect through showing me how Spanish is used in the professional world and how important linguistics is in order to understand the language.
