Llamas Molina, Macarena
PhD student in Hispanic Linguistics/SLAT & Spanish GAT

Macarena is a first year Ph.D. student in the Hispanic Linguistics program with a minor in Second Language Acquisition and Teaching (SLAT). Macarena is originally from Spain, where she completed her degree in English Cultural Studies, Literature, and Linguistics. There, she was able to discover the passionate world of Semantics and Pragmatics. She has always loved embarking on different adventures around the world, so her next steps took her to The Mountain State. In 2018, she began her master studies at West Virginia University where she graduated with a Masters in Linguistics and a Masters in Spanish in 2021. She will always be grateful for the unforgettable people and great professors she met who inspired her to keep on exploring. Also, at WVU she was able to discover and broaden her knowledge on her true academic interests: Discourse Analysis, Pragmatics, and Identities.

Whenever you cannot find Macarena on campus, you may find her traveling, camping, enjoying nature, reading, spending time with her friends, painting, doing macramé, creating candles, doing yoga or running.

SPAN 201 – Third Semester Spanish

Continuation of Spanish 101 and 102 or by placement exam. As the first semester of the second year Spanish, this course focuses on a short review of the materials studied in the first year courses. It expands on those points with a more in-depth study of the Spanish language and culture. Content-based approach integrates grammar and culture in a functional use through listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The course further develops grammatical accuracy in the use of the simple tenses: present, future, and conditional and of particular importance is the perfection of the use of the past tense: preterit and imperfect. Compound tenses such as the present perfect, past perfect are also developed in this course. Students gain the ability during this course to deal with more complex and abstract situations in the foreign language. Language use encouraged by way of communicative activities rather than a sequence of linguistics units. Audio, video, and computer materials incorporated.
