The Subtle Arbitrios Of Cervantes: Don Quijote As A Cautionary Tale For Leaders, Jonathan Edwin Olson Jan 2010

The Subtle Arbitrios Of Cervantes: Don Quijote As A Cautionary Tale For Leaders, Jonathan Edwin Olson

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

Miguel de Cervantes was clearly a man who had an interest in leadership. He sought leadership positions for himself during his life, and his works often include treatments of leadership issues. However, there are only three studies of leadership in his most important work, Don Quijote, and all are seriously flawed due to their failure to interpret passages from the novel in their context. This study uses a historical-grammatical hermeneutic to correct this error. Through a close reading of the text, this study demonstrates that Cervantes has encoded warnings for leaders in Don Quixote.

The Relationship Among Motivation, Interaction, And The Development Of Second Language Oral Proficiency In A Study-Abroad Context, Todd A. Hernández Jan 2010

The Relationship Among Motivation, Interaction, And The Development Of Second Language Oral Proficiency In A Study-Abroad Context, Todd A. Hernández

Spanish Languages and Literatures Research and Publications

The purpose of this investigation was to examine the role of integrative motivation, instrumental motivation, and interaction with a second language (L2) culture in shaping students’ speaking performance before and after participation in a 1-semester study-abroad program in Spain. A 2-part questionnaire (Student Background Information and Motivation Index), a language contact profile, and a pretest and posttest simulated oral proficiency interview were administered to 20 study-abroad participants. The results highlight 3 major points. First, students can indeed improve their L2 speaking proficiency during a 1-semester study-abroad program. Second, there is a positive relationship between students’ integrative motivation and their interaction …


Promoting Speaking Proficiency Through Motivation And Interaction: The Study Abroad And Classroom Learning Contexts, Todd A. Hernández Jan 2010

Promoting Speaking Proficiency Through Motivation And Interaction: The Study Abroad And Classroom Learning Contexts, Todd A. Hernández

Spanish Languages and Literatures Research and Publications

This study investigates how motivation and interaction shape the speaking proficiency of study abroad (SA) and classroom or at home (AH) language learners. The author administered a motivation questionnaire, language contact profile, and pretest and posttest simulated oral proficiency interview. The data reveal that SA and AH students had similar motivational profiles. As expected, SA participants used the target language outside of class more than their AH counterparts. Furthermore, SA students improved their speaking proficiency more than the AH group. Student motivation and interaction were identified as important factors in the development of speaking proficiency in both learning contexts. Results …

Chile: Mi Conquista, De Norte A Sur, Grace Cowan Jan 2010

Chile: Mi Conquista, De Norte A Sur, Grace Cowan

CMC Senior Theses

My thesis is a creative expression in poetry about my study abroad experience in Chile. During my time in Chile I traveled all over the country and tried to experience as much of the culture as possible. These poems speak of different parts of the country that I visited and different cultural aspects to which I was exposed. The work also includes photos from my travels to accompany several of my poems. This thesis was written with the hope that others might be able to better understand my semester in Chile.

“The Dampness Of Her Mother’S Womb, The Only Place To Be:” Ó Cómo Recuperar El Habla Después De La Tragedia. Rasgado, De Lila Zemborain, Mariela Méndez Jan 2010

“The Dampness Of Her Mother’S Womb, The Only Place To Be:” Ó Cómo Recuperar El Habla Después De La Tragedia. Rasgado, De Lila Zemborain, Mariela Méndez

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

Como sugiere Gregory Orr en su libro Poetry as Survival, existe una larga tradición lírica en poesía que da testimonio del poder transformador y hasta “terapéutico” del género en momentos de extrema angustia, dolor, y desesperación causados por alguna tragedia o catástrofe. Orr habla, entre otras cosas, de la necesidad de revivir la tragedia en el lenguaje del poema, re-creándola en otros términos que permitan así la distancia física, espacial, emocional, y abran el camino hacia la superación del trauma (101). Rasgado (2006), de Lila Zemborain, es un libro que bien podría agregarse a la larga lista de poemas …
