One Language, Many Voices: Examples of Cultural Diversity in the Spanish Language

Although a language fulfills the essential function of communicating and improving understanding between parties, that is not its  only role. Language is a cultural expression that reflects  a way of feeling, thinking, living, and conceiving the world.

Because of this complexity, it is challenging to universalize concepts  on the use of language.

Avoiding Academic Decay Through Well-Planned Summers by <b> Miquela Rivera </b>

The best summer vacations start in the winter – if you want a meaningful three-month break for Latino students once the school year ends.  Too many idle hours of summer vacation can result in academic decay – a loss of knowledge by students due to nonuse.  It’s intellectual atrophy – knowledge once acquired not actively used since becomes less meaningful or accessible.
