Spanish second-language pedagogy in the Canadian classroom will be discussed during a guest lecture and book launch March 9.

Brock University Associate Professor Cristina Santos and Donna M. Rogers, Interim Principal and Spanish Professor at Brescia University College, will discuss their two Canadian-edition Spanish textbooks, Puntos de Partida and Ma?s, which share a vision of language learning within appropriate cultural contexts, connecting learners of Spanish in Canada with millions of Spanish speakers around the world.

To support an optimal learning environment for contemporary university students studying Spanish in Canada, the authors believe in articulating clear, concise learning objectives and outcomes matched to linguistic and cultural content.

The event runs from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in Plaza 600F with light refreshments.
