Banner summer spanish program


 

This intensive summer study abroad program lasts between four and six weeks. The aim of our summer courses is to provide a skill-based Spanish course in which students get the extra support they need to improve their Spanish language skills individually.

At this time we are accepting applications for new students for our summer program in 2021. If the global health crisis continues, we will offer this program completely online and students will be able to experience Uninorte and Colombian Caribbean Spanish while anywhere in the world.



 

METHODOLOGY


Students complete 16 hours of class per week, delivered entirely in Spanish. Students are divided into different language level groups according to their language ability as determined by the Common European Framework of Reference for languages (CEFR). The course is divided in 5 modules: -Oral expression -Written expression -Grammar & Communication -Reading & Conversation Club -Culture, lifestyle & language.

The academic program is supplemented by field trips and excursions to various points of cultural interest where students will share traditional foods, learn about folk dances, attend cultural and musical events, and learn about the linguistic particularities of the Caribbean region.

Timetable: 4 hours per week during 16 weeks.
