MLO 2: Language and Linguistic Knowledge
The student develops an understanding of the structure of the Spanish language and is able to use an appropriate level of formality according to the situation, whether in writing or in speech.
The student completes between two and six courses (depending on his or her choice of emphasis, as either language and linguistics knowledge or literary and cultural knowledge) related to the Spanish language and linguistics. These courses deal with: the sound system of Spanish, the history of Spanish, advanced grammar, Spanish-English translation, a general introduction to Spanish linguistics, Spanish for professional application (medical, legal, etc. spheres), composition and conversation.

To fulfill this MLO I took SPAN 305 Spanish for the Professions. Span305 fulfills MLO 2: Language and linguistic knowledge. Through examining the world of business from a hispanic perspective, I was able to increase my Spanish vocabulary and improve my translating skills. The course evaluated different cultural aspects and terminology that were important factors to consider in the Spanish professional world. This helped prepare me for what to expect for job interviews, resumes, and positions in Spanish countries with a linguistical emphasis.
