Today, Spanish speakers can be found in many cultures around the world as well as throughout the arts and business communities. Our Spanish programs focus on conversation skills, grammar, vocabulary, group practice and other methodologies that will give students the tools they need to use the language in real-life situations with Spanish speakers from a variety of latin countries. Following a university curriculum and equipped with textbooks, we focus on oral, writing, listening and reading exercises. A variety of media such as YouTube videos, songs and language games are often used to enhance the student's learning experience. The program is designed to take students from the beginner level to advanced levels allowing them to speak fluently in this exciting language. All levels are taught in courses of 10 hours with either 2 hours of class per week or a more intensive option of 3 to 4 hours of class per week. There are five different levels of courses:
Beginner level courses are designed for students who have elementary or no knowledge of the language. In this level the focus is mainly on conversation and the development of a functional vocabulary which will reinforce the basic grammar the student learns.
Intermediate level courses are aimed towards students who are familiar with the Spanish language; they know how to express themselves in the present tense for many verbs and their conjugations, and are familiar with the future tense and have the basis of a functioning vocabulary.
The advanced level courses are geared toward students who have a solid foundation of the Spanish language and can communicate, comprehend and converse with a fair degree of ease in a variety of situations. At the advanced level students will master grammar structures and expand their command of the spoken language. By the end of the advanced level course, students will have expanded their communication skills to include the use of suggestion, persuasion and negotiation within a business context.
