This course will present a variety of topics related to business and careers throughout the Hispanic world and help students begin to develop their professional profile in Spanish. The main objective is to introduce students to the Hispanic professional environment through business and work-related terminology and usage, cultural practices at a formal environment, and professional communication. This class will be conducted in a seminar format, with a strong focus on conversation and writing. Students will also learn about the geographical, political, demographic and economic realities of Hispanic countries as they relate to business and professions. In order to develop intercultural competence, students will be invited to make connections and comparisons between the US and the Hispanic world. Moreover, students will engage with invited speakers and job interviewers from Latin America either through Skype or in person, and also with the local Hispanic and business communities in Pittsburgh through a service-learning project. At the end of the semester, students will design a promotional video (advertisement) about a product or professional service they want to target to the Hispanic world.
