Alfredo Alonso Estenoz has been a professor in the Modern Languages department since 2006, focusing on the topics of elementary and intermediate Spanish and Spanish conversation. Some of his course topics include Introduction to the Study of Hispanic Literature, Seminar in Latin American Literature and Culture,  Intermediate Spanish, and Written Expression.

In January Term, Professor Alonso Estenoz leads a course in which students study to become medical professionals and who require training in Spanish to serve Spanish-speaking clients in hospital or clinical settings. In addition to exploring medical terminology related to the human body, illnesses and treatments, students also study communication between Spanish-speaking clients and English-speaking providers in U.S. clinical settings. The course takes place abroad in Spain or Latin America and thus fulfills the immersion requirement for the Spanish minor. In addition to academic work, students live with host families; visit local clinics, hospitals or medical offices; and participate in guided tours to sites that illustrate the diverse cultural history of the country.
