PLACEMENT TEST:
At the beginning of the program a placement test will be given
to ensure that each student is placed in the level and group most
suited to his/her needs and knowledge of the language. No placement
test will be given to students in the graduate program. If a student
is placed in the wrong level, he/she can change to a lower or
higher level in the first two days. Students are not allowed to
attend classes of different levels or to change sections within
the same level.
CURRICULUM:
Our program offers the student
a good variety of graduate and undergraduate courses ranging from
Beginning and Intermediate Spanish, Conversation, Composition
to the most advanced courses in Culture, Civilization, Linguistics,
and many courses in Literature. The program and all the courses
are designed to take full advantage of the setting and ideal surroundings
to provide the participants with a rich cultural experience. The
language becomes alive and necessary. Students cannot avoid speaking
Spanish unless they absolutely refuse to do so.
The
classroom situation and the actual practice of the language could
be 12 hours a day. Students feel motivated because they can relate
what they study in the classroom with the outside world. Culture
and civilization becomes more vivid and relevant when students
walk through the same places where history and civilization took
place or is taking place. In addition to the course held in the
classroom, students have the options of internships.
