Description:
| IES Quito students have the opportunity to improve their Spanish while living in a vibrant, modern city that has its roots in the Incan Empire and Colonial Spain. The IES Area Studies and Language Program focuses on Equador's ecological and ethnic diversity, and the challenges of development. IES courses are taught in Spanish by native Spanish-speaking faculty, all of who are well-known professors at IES partner universities. Field experience complements classroom activities and enhances students' cultural integration, language acquisition, and intercultural competence; field study is incorporated into all coursework, and internships and service learning are a significant part of the overall curriculum. | |
