Title
The Spanish Language and the Importance of Linguistics
Description
In this portrait project, there was a discussion on the Spanish language with a focus on linguistics. The interview was with Jaime Ontiveros, who has a PhD in Hispanic Studies. Dr. Ontiveros is originally from Mexico, then became a resident in Texas before moving to London, Ontario. He taught Spanish to a large variety of students from different ages, varying from kindergarten to university students. Topics discussed in the portrait include; his opinion on parents teaching the maternal language to their children, his personal experience teaching Spanish and the background behind the Spanish language. The Spanish culture has a huge role in the evolution of the language. There is an art to teaching and Dr. Ontiveros teaches the viewer how linguistics and language play a role in our everyday lives and how communication would be impossible without linguistics.
