Spanish on the Move

Spanish on the Move is a new initiative offered by the Department of Modern Languages, which allows students to complete their language requirement through dynamic intensive courses in an immersion setting. 

Students enrolled in any of these six-credit courses will travel to México where they will be hosted by the Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara in the historical city of Guadalajara.  Over the course of two weeks, students will partially fulfill course requirements while benefiting from the enriching surroundings of this extraordinary city.   

 

Students with one year of college level Spanish may register for Span 128, an intensive six-credit course created to develop speaking, writing, and reading skills, and awareness of Hispanic cultures. It is the equivalent to the Spanish 125-126 language sequence.  Students who have taken CCSU Span 226 may enroll in the two sections of ML 400.  

These courses will be taught by Professors Mejía and Uribe from CCSU and by art history teachers of the host Mexican university.  It will have three main components:  Grammar, Conversation, and Culture.  Classes will take place in facilities of the University of Guadalajara, and students will be lodged in the University residences or with families.
