Components:

Intensive Spanish Language Class (3 hrs.)  
After taking a brief entrance exam and oral interview with a Spanish professor, students are placed in small groups according to their previous level of Spanish fluency, their ability to communicate, and their interests.  We subscribe to the "Group 5 System" in which no more than 5 students are assigned to a professor.  This guarantees that our students receive the attention they need and encourages interaction among the group.  This class focuses on 4 main skills:  speaking, listening, reading, and writing.

Latin American or Grammar Courses (2 hrs.)
This is a flexible option that allows the students to choose from an assortment of classes in the following areas of study: Art, Business, Education, History, Latin-American Studies, Linguistics, Literature, Political Science, Psychology, Religion, and Spanish grammar.

Cultural Lectures, Idiomatic Expressions or Conversation (1 hr.)
This component is designed to improve students' listening and conversational Spanish Language skills and cultural awareness by corrected discussions on topics like holidays, festivities, and family life. Students are encouraged to compare and contrast their own culture with their experiences in Mexico. Students are taught idiomatic expressions that will help them interact and better understand the culture in which they are immersed.
