Spanish Bilingual Program in Speech-Language Pathology at Indiana University
Do you speak Spanish fluently? Do you want a rewarding career helping people learn to communicate? Are you looking for a graduate program that combines a strong academic curriculum, real-world experience with Spanish speakers, clinical practicum and the opportunity for community outreach? If so, then the Indiana University Speech Therapy Education, Practicum, and Services for Latino Children and Families (STEPS) program in the Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences is a great program for you!
As part of the M.A. in Speech and Hearing Sciences, our program offers unique academic courses about communication in bilingual populations and specific coursework about Spanish-English language development and disorders. In addition, students will deliver speech-language pathology clinical services to mono- and bilingual Spanish speakers, both in our clinic and in real-world settings, under the supervision of an experienced bilingual speech-language pathologist. Speech-language services can include helping children learn to talk, training individuals with disabilities to produce speech sounds, helping victims of stroke or traumatic brain injury, working with individuals with autism, and much more! The opportunity to participate in the delivery of parent training and professional development seminars is also available.
This blend of experiences is unparalleled in the Midwest. Student funding for STEPS is available to those who qualify.
To be eligible, you must first apply to the IU Master’s program in Speech and Hearing Sciences. All interested students fluent in Spanish are encouraged to apply.

New Second Eight Weeks Course
Students, here is a new New Second Eight Weeks Course! The course carries Culture Studies credit.
CEUS-R 199
Class Number 35224
Introductory Topics in Central Eurasian Studies
VT: “Central Asia: Cultures and Customs”
MW 5:45 - 8:15 p.m.
SY 003
Instructor: Gulnisa Nazarova, Ph.D.
Culture Studies List A
Course description:
This course will introduce Central Asia (including Xinjiang and Mongolia) and the Central Asian peoples to undergraduate students. Many people think of the Silk Road when they hear the term “Central Asia,” and indeed that region was a major crossroads on the fabled trade route linking East and West. The languages, cultural traditions, religions, and material artifacts in Central Asia all illustrate that it has been a meeting place of peoples and cultures for centuries. Most Central Asians are Muslims, and most speak languages in the same family as Turkish. At the same time, they have widely differing ways of life, with pastoralists, farmers, itinerant traders, and urbanites represented.
In this course we will cover who the Central Asian peoples are, their languages, religions,traditional ways of life, cultures and customs. We will emphasize both the common features they all share, and the important differences among them. Through readings, meetings with experts on and representatives from Central Asia, along with visual materials, artifacts, and songs, students will find answers to their questions about this vast region. During the course students will watch several movies and selected excerpts from Central Asian films and other media in order to expose them to authentic ideas and images from Central Asian culture. This course is designed to give a virtual tour of this remarkable region.

Second Eight Weeks Course: "Comics as Memoir"
Check out this Second Eight Weeks Course!
Comics as Memoir (2 cr)
MW 4:00-5:15 p.m.
Collins Living-Learning Center
Course description:
How are comics so popular as pleasure reading, and yet so sought after by scholars as fodder for their methodologies? This class will take as its purview comics, webcomics and graphic novels from the last decade or so, and investigate the themes and meanings of each. We will look at memoirs, discussing issues of time, space, memory, liminal zones, and culture through the intersection of image and text. We will also use scholarly articles, showing the rich field of scholarship that has sprung from comics. For assignments, students will write weekly responses to the readings, and undertake an independent project with a presentation. We will also take several field trips, including Boxcar Books, Microcosm Publishing, and have several guest lectures by local scholars and artists to enrich the learning experience.
Questions may be directed to:
