International Internship & Spanish Immersion

Cursus beschrijving

This program combines a working experience in Latin America with Spanish private classes. Interns usually spend 5-6 hours per day at their Internship placement and then have a 1 hour private Spanish class.

Participants can choose the type of placement among the following sectors:

- Dental*
- Education
- Human Rights
- Hospitality & Tourism
- Medical*
- Micro-Business
- Special Education
- Veterinary Science
- Customized*

*These programs have a Special Project Surcharge.

An Intermediate (B1) level of Spanish is required for most Internship placements. Hospitality & Tourism and Education do not require a minimum Spanish level.

Accommodation in a host family with a private room and 2 meals/day (breakfast and dinner) is included in the program fee.

This program is designed for Spanish learners looking for a working experience in Latin America and an intensive language-learning opportunity and cultural immersion. Throughout your language training, the teacher will continuously assess your ability in the four language skills – Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing; and the four language systems – Grammar, Vocabulary, Phonology, and Function.

Textbooks and materials are all included in course prices, and all of the teachers are experienced native Spanish instructors – either certified in teaching Spanish as a foreign language or with their Bachelors and/or Masters in Education. Because this is a private lesson, learners can direct the class to focus on a specific professional area such as medical or business Spanish. We also have a free Tandem Conversation Program offering free conversation practice with local English students to supplement your regular classes.
