Description:

This three-week trip to Madrid, Spain is designed with the specific purpose of giving students an authentic immersion experience in the Spanish language and culture. Students will increase their language proficiency and expand their knowledge of the Spanish culture by living with a carefully chosen host family and interacting with a team of experienced teachers in Madrid. This program consists of 22/24 Spanish classes, per week, lasting 45 minutes each in different groups of up to 9 students with the participation of other international students. All cultural activities and excursions will be conducted in Spanish. Contact hours with the language will be around 40 hours per week (but students will take a language pledge which requires "speaking only Spanish except in the case of an emergency). In addition to daily classes, other activities, such as a weekend trips to Segovia and Toledo, visits to several different museums-among them El Prado, La Reina Sofia, Palacio Real and Museo Sorolla), a Flamenco show and a bullfight. Additionally, social gatherings (such as a welcome party, Thursday-evening outings, movie night, etc.) are important components of the program. Upon return from Madrid, all participating students will contribute to the trip web page and present a cultural perspective of their experience abroad to the campus community.
