Our partner Spanish language
school is an extension of a local university, which is recognized
by numerous major universities around the world. The language
school in Guadalajara was established in 1948. Though part of
the university, the Spanish language school is located in a separate
building away from the rest of the university in a beautiful residential
area of Guadalajara. The facilities are some of the nicest you
will find anywhere in Latin America. From the steps of the Spanish
langauge school, one is only blocks away from virtually everything
of interest in Guadalajara.

choosing to study at this Spanish language school students become
part of a tradition of academic excellence, accompanied by the
warmth and hospitality that characterizes Mexican culture. The
Spanish language school enjoys the reputation of being among the
finest accredited University Programs of Spanish language and

a rich diversity of students and faculty members. In the classrooms,
laboratories and libraries, people from many different countries,
of different races and beliefs come together to pursue a common

Standard Program:
Group instruction, 4 lessons per day, 15 students max per class.
This is a 5 week class. Note:
During certain times of the year
the Spanish language school offers a 2 week 5.5 lesson per day

Learning is based on the Communicative Approach,
without losing sight of the need for grammatical accuracy. Spanish
language courses are taught in Spanish and are designed to help
students acquire fluency and sufficient communicative skills to
cope with any situation that they are likely to encounter. The
size of the groups are no larger than 15 students. This enables
the Spanish language school to offer a level of personalized attention, according to
the specific needs of each student, and to encourage more interaction
in the classroom. On arrival, students are tested for both written
and spoken competence. On the basis of this placement test, they
are assigned to the most appropriate level for their own benefit.
The Spanish language school operates ten levels of Spanish instruction, which are
in turn divided into three areas: Spanish for Beginners, Intermediate
Spanish, Advanced Spanish.
Individual
Language Training: Perfect for those who need intensive
or specialized instruction. The same techniques used in the Standard
Program are applied to the Individual Language Training Program.
For students with an intermediate to high level of proficiency
the Spanish language school can tailor a program to cover specific needs and/or specialized
topics. |
