WELCOME
Spanish Outreach is an exciting program developed by Dr. Michael Schnepf and offered by the Spanish Program within the Department of Modern Languages and Classics. With the rapidly growing Hispanic population in Tuscaloosa County and Alabama in general, there is a growing need for bilingual speakers (Spanish & English) who can help in the Latino Community in a wide spectrum of areas such as schools, health care. law enforcement, fire prevention, and other social sevices.
Spanish Outreach attempts to provide some of these services by placing its most accomplished majors and minors as semester interns in local schools where they can assist our younger members of society with individual tutoring, comprehension of lessons, personal dialogue, interpretation, and other language-based tasks. In addition to providing a valuable community service these students-interns receive three hours of college credit (SP390, applicable to major or minor) as they hone their own linguistic skills.
Eligibility: Students must have completed SP353-Spanish Conversation and SP356-Advanced Spanish Grammar and Composition. This is not a general course; students must have Dr. Posner’s written permission to enroll. For additional information about the program and the availability of students/interns, contact:
