Course Program
To gain the most out of your stay, we have divided the program into three sections. This concept allows you to accommodate your areas of interested study based on your level of Spanish:
1. Academic teaching
BASIS COURSES (you must choose one of the following)
| CI |
Curso Intensivo de Lengua Española |
| |
(Spanish Language Intensive Course) 4 hours per day on grammar and communication exercises (spoken and written) |
| |
| CICO |
Curso Intensivo de Lengua Española (CI) + Conversación |
| |
(Spanish Language Intensive Course + Conversation) 4 hours per day on Spanish grammar and communication exercises + 1 hour per day on Conversation |
| |
| CICC |
Curso Intensivo de Lengua Española (CI) + Cultura y Civilización |
| |
(Spanish Language Intensive Course + Culture and Civilization) 4 hours per day on Spanish grammar and communication exercises + 1 hour per day on Spanish Culture and Civilization |
It is important to mention that the Curso Intensivo de Lengua Española (CI), already includes conversation and, through the exercises, you will get to know Spanish culture and civilization. The other two options (CICC and CICO) further your knowledge of these topics.
The Spanish language courses are offered at five levels: basic, elementary, intermediate, advanced, and superior.
