Students start using Spanish communicatively almost immediately. Furthermore, its communicative approach allows review of the four language skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. We combine the instructional and practical aspects of the language.
The Spanish Immersion Program covers twenty five hours of formal instruction per week. All the lessons present real life situations, taking into account the immediate communicative needs of the students. The small class sizes ( no more than 5 students per class) and low anxiety atmosphere enhances the language learning experience. This program is recommended for students ages 16 and over.
The Spanish Immersion Program consists of:
- 3 hours of group Language Classes emphasizing on the four language skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing (in groups with no more than 5 students).
- A 2 hour Workshop of Guided Conversation.
- 1 hour of Special Topics: Field trips to local museums, Salsa Classes, Lectures, Mexican songs, conferences, etc.
- Students are grouped according to their Spanish abilities, that are tested during a written placement exam and oral interview which ensures that every student is placed in the right class, where his/her needs are met.
- Students will have the opportunity to interact with local students by participating in our conversation exchange workshops.
- Students will receive a Certificate of Completion at the end of their course. Transcripts will be issued upon request, for those taking the classes for credits.
