Program Description

Event Details

Cultura Plenera invites you to join Dr. Xiomara E. Rivera Pagán (Doctorate in Educational Leadership for Changing Populations) for an informative conversation about languages used by Puerto Ricans. The history of languages both on and off the island has evolved over years to include the use of English, Spanish and Spanglish. This event will discuss that evolution, the causes and implication of multilingualism among Puerto Ricans. This will be an interactive presentation in which the audience will have the opportunity to join the conversation!  Ask questions and share experiences related to your own language acquisition history and how it is reflected in your culture and communities.
