Development of a free online OER (open educational resource) for teaching Spanish language using humanities collections and cultural experiences of Latinx in the US for all learners.
Yo Soy Porque Tú Eres: recursos para el aprendizaje de Español en contexto (I Am Because You Are: resources for teaching Spanish in context) project will be a free digital platform that promotes U.S. Hispano/Latinx texts as resources to learn Spanish in the undergraduate classroom. The platform is organized around both themes of identity, trauma and resistance, and traditional knowledge and around skill levels. The platform provides digital pedagogical tools to allow students to not only analyze the texts, but to also tell their own stories in Spanish. We also encourage users to submit content and ideas to increase performance and robustness.
