This total immersion program is designed to help students achieve rapid advancements in Spanish grammar, conversation and writing.
Small classes (fewer than 10 students), qualified professors and a flexible course structure and methodology allows students to learn at their own pace
There are six general levels of total-immersion Spanish language classes: A1 and A2 (Elemental ESPA100- ESPA101), B1(Basic ESPA 102-ESPA103), B2 (Intermediate ESPA104 and ESPA105), C1 (Superior ESPA106 and ESPA107) and C2 (Advanced ESPA108 and ESPA109) plus 6 general levels of Spanish writing and conversation: A1 and A2(Elemental CES110 - CES111), B1 (Basic CES112 - CES113), B2 (Intermediate CES114 - CES115), C1 (Superior CES116 - CES117) and C2 (Advanced CES118 - CES119). The Spring term is composed of a Spanish Grammar Language course and a Writing and conversation Course. This benefits the students by providing them with the most appropriate instruction for their learning needs.
As students encounter new objectives, they may master the material at different paces. For this reason, the term is divided into 4 monthly segments, and students are evaluated at the end of each segment. At this time students may be promoted to a higher level. Occasionally, students with a firm understanding of Spanish grammar may have trouble communicating verbally. The design of the program permits us to accommodate such learning disparities to the benefit of both students and instructors.
While such individualization allows students to optimize their learning experience, it also means that students should be evaluated individually at their home institutions in order to receive proper credit for the course. Note that regardless of class level, eighty percent class attendence and a passing exam score are required to receive course credit.
