COURSES

All courses are taught in Spanish by highly qualified Spanish university professors with extensive experience in teaching American students:

The initial Intensive Language Period focuses on the Communicative Method; students spend a large portion of class time practicing their Spanish through situaciones and group discussions. The professor uses the students' conversations as the impetus for vocabulary acquisition and correction of grammar.
Through practicing everyday Spanish and discussing topics that students care about, students discover a desire to learn and practice Spanish outside of the classroom.
All Spanish Studies courses seek maximum student engagement through the integration of our Critical Thinking/Writing Across the Curriculum Program.
