This website is part of an undergraduate community-engaged learning course in Spanish, which aims to promote active learning strategies within Modern Languages at the University of Glasgow, Scotland. The course is convened by María Soledad Montañez.
The course explores community engagement, migration, and diaspora in the UK more broadly, and the Spanish and Latin American communities more specifically, considering different engagement methodologies and approaches in multilingual contexts.

This is a student-led and project-centred course, which seeks to work as a model within Hispanic Studies to explore new methods and approaches to language teaching and learning. Students explore the role and place of community languages within migration and diaspora studies by analysing language policies, educational policies, and studying concepts such as multilingualism and language heritage in the UK, before deciding on their project and reflect on its possible outcomes and challenges, as well as social and ethical implications.
As part of the assessment, students are asked to identify the communities’ linguistic needs and barriers and produce materials and resources in Spanish for the Spanish-speaking communities in Scotland and create a project that responds to those findings.
Projects have been reviewed, assessed and ethically approved.
