Spanish for Bilingual Students
An intermediate Spanish course from MIT OpenCourseWare aimed at heritage speakers who already have some conversational fluency but want to build formal writing and vocabulary skills. The syllabus organizes grammar and composition work around thematic units drawn from US Latino experience, including immigration, education, and media representation, giving students authentic texts and discussion topics to practice with. Assignments focus on expanding vocabulary, refining written Spanish, and developing more formal registers of communication than students typically bring from home use of the language. The course includes a full syllabus, readings, and writing assignments as published by MIT OpenCourseWare, and is free to access online with no certificate offered. It suits students who speak Spanish at home and want structured academic instruction rather than beginners starting from scratch.
