Abstract
Este artículo identifica una necesidad y presenta un modelo sostenible para incorporar la integración a la comunidad en los cursos de español para fines específicos (EFE). Para combatir el descenso en la matrícula, los programas han aumentado su oferta de EFE—cursos que proporcionan relevancia y valor, igual a la integración de componentes de aprendizaje experiencial. Estos componentes contextualizan el aprendizaje experiencial y abarcan desde entrevistas informativas hasta pasantías estructuradas. El acoplamiento de estas prácticas de alto impacto requiere superar obstáculos: desembolso de recursos o establecimiento de expectativas razonables. Este modelo detalla integraciones de varias intensidades para hacer accesible la práctica a educadores independientemente de su experiencia previa y para asegurar beneficios tanto para los estudiantes como para las comunidades: una relación recíproca.
This article identifies a need and presents a sustainable model for incorporating community engagement into Spanish for Specific Purposes (SSP) courses. To respond to enrollment stresses, language programs have increased offerings of SSPs which have been recognized as a pathway toward relevance and value, as has the incorporation of community engagement components. Integrating engagement opportunities into an SSP course contextualizes learning outside of the classroom and can range from informational interviews to structured internships. Marrying these high-impact practices requires overcoming obstacles, such as the outlay of resources or setting reasonable expectations. This model outlines varying intensities of integration making it accessible to educators regardless of their community engagement experience and assuring benefits for both students and community partners: a reciprocal relationship.
