我们的课程反映了我们的教师和讲师的兴趣和专长的多样性，以及MIT本科生的特殊需求。我们的课程使用创新的教学方法，包括最先进的交互技术，使学生能够获得在全球西班牙语社区进行交流所必需的能力，并为学生提供在日益全球化的经济中生活和工作的工具。由于西班牙语是美国主要的第二语言，因此各个级别的课程都特别关注西班牙裔社区在全国范围内呈现的语言和文化多样性。基本课程强调语言习得和文化广度，而高级课程则提供有关西班牙语，拉丁美洲和拉丁美洲文学，文化，历史和电影的各种课程。
One of the most important global languages historically, year on year, Spanish solidifies its place as a primary language of the United States, spoken by nearly 15% of its population and studied in the U.S. more than any other non-English language. Spoken by more than 500 million people worldwide, and the official language of 21 countries, Spanish provides a gateway to the histories, cultures, and societies of peoples on four continents.<br><br>Spanish Studies at all levels highlights the linguistic and cultural diversity presented by Spanish-speaking cultures and communities, as well as the particular Spanish language needs of MIT students. Classes use innovative pedagogical methods, including the most advanced interactive technologies to support students acquisition of the competencies necessary for communication in global Spanish-speaking communities around the world. Whereas subjects at the introductory level stress language acquisition and cultural breadth, at advanced levels students may apply their Spanish proficiency in classes examining Spanish, Latin American, and Latinx literatures, their cultures, histories, and film. Language for special purposes subjects, including 21G.705 Spanish for Medicine and Health, prepare students to use their skills after they leave MIT. Spanish classes further prepare students to participate in international experiences such as MIT-Spain, MIT-Mexico, and D-Lab.
