College students connect with Hispanic Vermonters through a Spanish class project

A project in a University of Vermont Spanish class is helping students break out of the campus "bubble."

When learning a foreign language, students often find it helpful 鈥� albeit a bit intimidating 鈥� to practice with native speakers. These dialogues can help language learners grow their vocabulary, and build a stronger relationship with the communities that speak the language they're studying.

This hour, UVM lecturer Adriana Sanchez-Gutierrez shares how her Spanish students are interviewing Hispanic Vermonters about their lives. 开云体育 will share some of their interviews in the coming weeks.

Our guests:

  • Adriana S谩nchez-Guti茅rrez, at the University of Vermont
  • Shane Riley, a UVM biochemistry student studying Spanish in Adriana Sanchez-Gutierrez's class
  • Gloria Estela Gonz谩lez Zenteno, at Middlebury College

Broadcast live on Tuesday, April 25, 2023, at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
