Description:
| Offering intensive language work at both the intermediate and advanced levels, this 3 1/2 week term is designed to be taken on its own or as preparation for the Spring Semester Program. It is ideal for students who have been away from the study of Spanish for some time, or want additional language preparation before entering the Intensive Intermediate or Upper Division Programs.
All classes (avg. class size: 12 students) are taught in Spanish by native professors. The CC-CS curriculum emphasizes intensive immersion with a focus on oral proficiency and writing across the curriculum. Each student works at his or her own level after having been assessed by a placement test during orientation. Students are required to sign and adhere to a Spanish-only contract within the Center’s facilities and classrooms.
Program features home stays and a full array of field trips, excursions, cultural events and social activities. Intercambio language exchanges with native Spaniards are arranged.
CC-CS has also created the Alumni Scholar Fund which awards stipends up to $1,000 to every student choosing embark on an additional cross-cultural program with CC-CS.
The Center is located in two adjoining mansions comprising 35+ rooms, 5 patios, a sundeck and four computer labs with more than 40 Windows-based work-stations. Located in the heart of Seville’s commercial and social center, CC-CS is a short walk from the University of Seville and some of Spain’s most glorious and historic sites. These include the Cathedral and Giralda (the symbol of Seville), the Torre del Oro, the Alcázar palace, many museums and the beautiful Guadalquivir River. Seville is also located within an hour and a half of the Costa del Sol and its sunny beaches. CC-CS led study tours are included at no extra cost.
The Center has been a social and cultural gathering place for both Americans and Sevillanos since 1969. Each year, more than two hundred Spaniards study English at the Center and participate in Intercambios (language-exchanges) with American students. In addition to organizing the Intercambio program, the Center actively promotes regular interaction of Spanish and American students by organizing social events and cultural activities such as outings to the theater, festivals and carnivals, art exhibits, concerts of classical and contemporary music, video presentations, and joint fiestas. Shared library facilities, study rooms, lounges and common areas at the Center together with home stays give American students an unparalleled opportunity to learn about the culture and language of Spain first hand. | |
