Program description and subjects: The Centre for Modern Languages of the University of Granada (founded in 1531) provides an opportunity for immersion in an intensive academic environment where participants can be part of the Spanish language and culture; students arrive in Granada July 1st and depart July 31st. In the traditional classroom room setting in the United States, students have between 3-4 contact hours a week with the language and then often have limited contact outside of the classroom setting. In the study abroad setting, not only are students immersed in the language in the classroom setting during 20 hours a week, but additionally they will spend the rest of the time outside of the classroom in real, authentic language interactions. Academically, students in this program will be able to earn 6-9 credits in Spanish during their time abroad by taking the classes listed below (It is strongly recommended that students take only 6 credits so as to allow time for exploration and contact with the Spanish people). The students also will gain exposure to a diversity of social values and intellectual atmospheres that will foster the development of new language and social skills as well as experience of cultural immersion through numerous excursions to different parts of Spain. Excursions We will travel to Sevilla, Córdoba, and Nerja as part of the program as well as visit the many historical sites in Granada including a visit to the Alhambra (the famous Moorish fort and palace). We will additionally experience first hand and recognize the differences within the Spanish culture, social values, religious views, and politics. The Centre The Language Centre (Centro de Lenguas Modernas (CLM)) is located in the central district of the "Realejo" and is housed in the old palace of Santa Cruz (16th century) which has been specially restored for teaching purposes. Since restoration was completed in 1992, the new CLM offers not only its now renowned Spanish Courses for Foreigners (Hispanic Studies Course, Studies in Spanish Language and Culture Course and Intensive Spanish Language Courses) but also a variety of Foreign Language Courses (English, French, Italian, German, Arabic, Modern Greek, Japanese, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian and Swedish). It is the combination of the two that make the centre such an original venture; here foreign students can share their daily lives with those of Spanish students, thus stimulating a mutual interest in their different languages and cultures. This contact is strengthened through a language exchange service, which gives students the opportunity to practice their Spanish outside the classroom, and by cultural visits and activities. Finally, the University of Granada is situated in the city centre and only a few minutes walk from the Town Hall and the Nasrid palace "the Alhambra". Granada is in southern Spain in the region known as Andalusia, and provides a unique and safe learning environment for students. The city dates back to the 6th century B.C. and was the last Moorish kingdom conquered in 1492. It is a picturesque city at the foot of the Sierra Nevada’s where you can walk in a mountain forest or lie on the Mediterranean beach, all less than an hour away from Granada. Let yourself be inspired; join the Spanish Language and Culture Program in Summer 2010.
