“…As is often the case with an emerging field, the early published work describing Spanish CSL curricula was highly anecdotal, serving primarily as a “how‐to” guide for faculty interested in designing similar CSL courses (Díaz‐Barriga, 2003; Jorge, 2003a; Julseth, 2003; Kaplan & Perez‐Gamboa, 2003; Olazagasti‐Segovia, 2003; Plann, 2002; Sanders, 2005). The early literature on Spanish and CSL was devoted to CSL as a way to further the goals of acquiring Spanish language and Hispanic cultures skills, and scholars writing in the field reported improvement in students’ linguistic and cultural acquisition as well as in motivation and attitude as a result of engaging in CSL (Beebe & DeCosta, 1993; Darias, Gómez, Hellebrandt, Loomis, Orendain, & Quezada, 1999; Hale, 1999; Jorge, 2003a; Morris, 2001a, 2001b; Mullaney, 1999; Varas, 1999; Weldon & Trautmann, 2003).…”

Community service learning (CSL) is a type of experiential learning that blends specific course content with real-world applications and ties them together through structured reflection. It is an ideal pedagogy for 21st-century language for specific purposes (LSP) programs. This article frames that argument around sociocultural theory, moves to a discussion of existing models, materials, and research, and describes the relevance of CSL and LSP to the contexts of higher education, communities beyond campus, and professional workplaces. Challenges to the implementation of CSL and LSP programs include resistance to interdisciplinary work, increasing dependence on income-generating models, and historical lack of campus-community engagement. The article concludes with a description of current needs and priorities, such as the development of models and standards for CSL and LSP, as well as an agenda for advancing the disciplines within institutions of higher education.

As an anthropologist, I strive to incorporate the principles of engaged ethnographic research into my teaching. This paper presents a case study of five service-learning projects conducted by anthropology students at Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida. I contrast the minimal impact of two unsuccessful projects focused on documenting participants’ family lives with the great success of the later projects, in which my students taught anthropology-themed courses to older adult students. These projects were successful because they were mutually beneficial: They helped my students apply their knowledge outside of the classroom while providing opportunities for continuing education for older adults seeking to engage in academic debate. I argue that using the methods of collaborative ethnography can help scholars to design community engagement experiences that are more impactful for students and community partners alike.
