This course examines bilingualism in the Spanish-speaking world in society and in individuals. At the societal level, it discusses the distribution of languages in contact with Spanish throughout the world and the social and political factors that affect language use, acquisition and maintenance, including language policy and bilingual education. At the individual level, it discusses first and second language acquisition and bilingual language processing and use, including code-switching and other linguistic features resulting from language contact. This class will be conducted in Spanish.
The Wikipedia project will be a translation project in which students translate articles on minority languages and their speakers, language policy and planning, bilingual education, language contact situations, or other topics related to bi- and multilingualism from the Spanish Wikipedia.
Welcome to your Wikipedia project's course timeline. This page will guide you through the Wikipedia project for your course. Be sure to check with your instructor to see if there are other pages you should be following as well.
Your course has also been assigned a Wikipedia Expert. Check your Talk page for notes from them. You can also reach them through the "Get Help" button on this page.
To get started, please review the following handouts:
After our class discussion, complete the two trainings above. Then go to the Articles tab to review the pre-selected articles. You can choose appropriate articles from there, or you can find your own proposed article.
After the workshop, choose two articles (a first choice, and a backup) to translate into English. Post the article links on your talk page to submit them to the instructor for review.
Once your instructor has approved one or both of your selected articles, finalize your choice of which article to translate by assigning it to yourself, following the steps explained here. You'll also start thinking about where your article needs to be improved and begin compiling a bibliography, which for our class will mostly be sourced from the target-language article.
Supplementary trainings:
Handouts: Citing Sources and Avoid Plagiarism
Handout: Moving out of your sandbox
Students have finished all their work on Wikipedia that will be considered for grading.
