Newsletter December 2024

 

Dear colleagues,

The faculty of the Spanish Heritage Language (SHL) Program would like to share their inaugural newsletter with the wider UO community (see attachment). In this quarterly publication, we highlight the program’s history, mission and values through SHL faculty narratives and highlight previous events and student success stories. As we near the program’s 15-year anniversary, this newsletter celebrates the transformative education experience that the SHL program and the Department of Romance Languages provides for Latinx UO students.

We wish you all a happy and restful holiday season.

Sergio Loza, Ph.D.

Assistant Professor of Spanish Linguistics

Director of the Spanish Heritage Language Program

Department of Romance Languages

Tarde de estudio

Last Monday, December 2nd, we had a tarde de estudio at the Friendly Lounge, an event organized by our Líderes Bilingües. We enjoyed Chocolate abuelita, pan dulce, and most importantly, dedicated ourselves to working on our finals. It was a cold day, but the community always makes everything warmer!

SHL Director Sergio Loza Presents on Latinx Ambassador Program at HLS

Prof. Sergio Loza Director of the Spanish Heritage Language Program was one of four plenary speakers at the Hispanic Linguistics Symposium, an annual conference with a focus on theoretical and applied linguistics in Spanish and Portuguese. In his presentation, “Moving CLA beyond the classroom: Development and Outcomes of a Latinx Ambassador Program,” Sergio gave an overview of the field of critical language awareness and highlighted how our RL program is taking CLA to the world outside the SHL classroom.

Congrats, Sergio, for this highly visible presentation that advances your work in SHL program direction!
