Special Projects in Spanish — SPA4812.01

Instructor: Jonathan Pitcher
Days & Time: MO,TH 10:00am-11:50am
Credits: 4

In lieu of more conventional advanced Spanish classes, paralleling a series of often disparate tutorials, with tutees working in relative isolation, the proposal is to allow students free reign over an idea for a final, term-long project, while concurrently offering them an educated, exoteric audience to assist in fleshing out their work.

Multilingualism and Cognition — PSY4249.01

Instructor: Anne Gilman
Days & Time: MO,TH 10:00am-11:50am
Credits: 4

How are language and thought connected, and does speaking multiple languages affect these connections?  Most people have had the experience of struggling to come up with a particular word or phrase, sometimes recalling it after a substantial delay.  This course will unpack the mental processes involved in that experience and explore the ways that cognitive psychology -- the study of thought -- has been broadened by investigations of monolingual and multilingual language use.
