Summer Courses
The intensive summer program is arranged during the months of July and August; students can sign up for one or two months and no previous Spanish knowledge is needed.The structure of the summer program is very similar to that of the intensive monthly courses, although the participants tend to be students wanting to combine vacations with learning some Spanish and having a great time
Content of Course
Like with the intensive monthly and semester programs, the summer course are divided into 6 different levels and have 5 classes per day. As with the semester courses, for the first 3 levels the classes will focus on improving your Spanish skills; with two hours of Spanish language and grammar and then two hours of communicative practice each day.
The daily program for the intensive course includes 2 hours of Spanish language and grammar, two hours of communicative practice and then the last hour is spent on listening and reading comprehension. The exact content depends on the levels of the students but at the initial levels will include the basic grammar, learning of vocabulary and basic listening exercises whereas for higher levels, classes will include the more advanced grammar, student presentation and debates on different subjects.
Apart from offering more classes per week, the intensive course only has 5-8 students per class. This means that each student has much more personal attention from the professor and will therefore learn faster. This is especially true for conversation classes where the number of students per class is important as with up to 18 students per class (like in the semester courses) there would be very little time to each student.Facts
