Our Curriculum
All CC-CS study abroad programs are grounded in our
philosophy of helping students cross into new cultures, as we encourage them
to venture outside their own cultural identity to find a comfortable place within another. At our Center in Seville, CC-CS has consciously developed a curriculum that maximizes student language acquisition and engagement in
the local culture, and we are constantly seeking ways to adapt and improve
upon our programming whenever possible. In all of our program locations, CC-CS has designed courses especially for students studying abroad, so that they may synthesize their everyday experiences in their host culture with cultural guidance and appropriate contexts.
Social and Cultural Realities Courses
These courses run throughout the length of the semester, and have been developed to enrich students'
comprehension of their transition into a new culture. The courses are taught by the Resident Directors, allowing the Directors to observe each students' adaptation process and for the students to establish a relationship with their Directors of the program. Cultural and Social Realities courses are available for students at the Intermediate and Advanced levels of Spanish.

Language
All Seville semester and academic year students receive enhanced language support through intensive Spanish courses, taught by native instructors, as well as language modules to support the areas of their language learning that need the most attention. Students take one language module during the initial Intensive Period, and a second language module during their semester coursework. Language modules focus on the areas of listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

Education
The Seville Summer Terms offer a unique opportunity for teachers or students pursuing a career in education. The "Seminar for Teachers of Spanish" offers cultural tips and tools for teachers to bring to their classrooms, and can be enhanced by "The Psychology of Learning a Second Language" in the first summer term. The "Practicum in Education" is a great way for students to receive hands-on teaching experience at the Center's English language school for those interested in entering the field.
