With increasing numbers of Spanish-speaking people in the Chattanooga area, knowing a little of the Spanish language has become increasingly helpful.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also becoming a little easier for employees of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, where the Department of Modern and Classical Languages and Literature has begun offering a conversational Spanish course for staff and faculty.<\/p>\n

Dr. Niky Tejero, associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, helped create the new program.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a six-week beginning conversational Spanish course offered during the lunch hour, so it\u2019s a class in a social setting. We\u2019re providing dessert and drinks for people to develop Spanish speaking skills, six basic lessons\u2014\u00adjust enough to get you going,\u201d said Tejero.<\/p>\n

The free Spanish lessons are intended to directly benefit faculty and staff attending the classes, but there are some less-obvious benefits.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can incentivize our employees to extend themselves and develop special skills. Like bilingual skills, especially those who work in student-facing offices,\u201d Tejero said.<\/p>\n

And University employees attempting to use some Spanish words with students or their families is a powerful gesture, she added.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you go to financial aid with your parents who don\u2019t speak English, and a born-and-raised American is speaking to you in Spanish, what message would that give you? You would think, \u2018Wow, they\u2019re making an effort to connect with me,\u2019 which is what we\u2019re trying to do in so many different ways with our prospective and current students,\u201d Tejero said.<\/p>\n

The class is taught by Dr. Lynn Purkey, head of the Department of Modern and Classical Languages and Literature. Sybil Baker, a course participant and associate head of the English department, said Purkey is doing a great job.<\/p>\n

\u201cDr. Purkey is a very good teacher. As teachers, we can see what she is doing. She is a very positive and encouraging teacher. She does lots of group activities where you speak to each other, so it\u2019s not just book learning,\u201d Baker said.<\/p>\n

For those who do enjoy \u201cbook learning,\u201d it\u2019s included. An online component enables further study and practice outside the classroom.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really what you want to make of it. So, if you want to study, there\u2019s a ton of online exercises, and we got the textbook for free,\u201d Baker said.<\/p>\n

This introductory class for staff and faculty is the first step in Tejero\u2019s plan to create a more welcoming space for Spanish-speaking students at UTC.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis little six-week course is the toe in the swimming pool version of it. I don\u2019t imagine that the people who are working full-time in financial aid are going to want to get a four-year degree in Spanish, nor should they have to. They\u2019re professionals and have a full-time job, but they can take one class at a time,\u201d said Tejero.<\/p>\n

Baker is among the participants who said they\u2019d be back for additional classes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI appreciate that they are providing enrichment activities for staff and faculty,\u201d Baker said, \u201cand I hope they\u2019ll do it again next year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tejero describes the class as a small effort with a potentially big impact.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a relatively painless way to strengthen and diversify our current structures and systems to make them a little bit more friendly and accessible to this growing population,\u201d said Tejero.<\/p>\n

Baker was happy to show off her new linguistic skills.<\/p>\n

\u201cMe gusta clase. Es muy interesante. Es un poco dif\u00edcil, pero la profesora es muy buena,\u201d said Baker.<\/p>\n

The translation: \u201cI like class. It\u2019s very interesting. It\u2019s a bit difficult, but the teacher is very good.\u201d<\/p>\n
