Juntos: Community Partnerships in Spanish and Portuguese

This anthology provides an overview and practical guide to establishing authentic learning partnerships through service learning, and to promoting civic engagement among the individual and institutional members of the various disciplinary foreign language organizations in the United States. The editors contend that teaching and learning Spanish and Portuguese entails more than language development and teaching the civilizations, cultures, and literatures of the Spanish-speaking and Luso-Brazilian world within the confines of a school or university. The book is divided into four sections: Theoretical Contexts, Compartiendo Experiencias, Cross-Disciplinary Perspectives, and Technology-Aided Perspectives and Service-Learning Resources. [publisher]
