Course Highlights
A Conversation with Members of 深夜福利站's CALMS, the Canadian Association of Latinx Medical Students
A big thank you to 深夜福利站 medical students Christian Neira Agonh, Virginia Bueno and Andrés Jiménez (University of Windsor) and also to Dr. Daniel Tejada, for visiting our "Medical Spanish, Health, and Healing" class last Friday. Being very generous with their time, they spoke with our students about the following topics:
- The application processes for health professions in Canada (medicine, nursing and physiotherapy).
- The importance of networking and mentorship.
- The need for Spanish medical interpreters in our community.
- Other opportunities open to medical professionals who speak Spanish (exchanges, placements etc.).
It was a really fun, informative and inspiring session!
Engaging with Casa Latina
Yesterday evening, the students in the cross listed COMPLIT 2150 (Create & Connect! Cultural Production and Community Engagement) AND SPANISH 3505 (¡Seamos creativos! Cultural Production and Community Engagement), visited Casa Latina, a community center located in downtown London.
David Ayala, one of the founders of Casa Latina and Culturx, spoke to our students about the journey of creating and then operating the center. We also spoke about the ways in which the students will be able to engage with the community and in so doing also help to support the center's goals from now until the end of the year. More exciting news to come!
Exploring Latin American Heritage at Casa Latina
Students from Bridging Classroom & Community: Languages & Cultures in Action (CLC/GER/ICC/ITA/SPA 2500G) recently visited Culturx’s newly opened community centre, Casa Latina, where the founders, Dani and David, delivered an engaging presentation on the history of the Latin American community in London, Ontario.
Creative Projects in Advanced Spanish
Students in the Advanced Spanish course were challenged to create multimedia projects reflecting class themes, resulting in a showcase of creativity that included engaging reels and clever memes. These projects allowed students to demonstrate their language skills in an innovative and entertaining way, contributing to a fun and interactive learning environment. Below, you can explore the reels and memes. Click on any image to view it in full size.
