ACADEMIC PROGRAM | Philosophy | Methodology | College Credit We call our methodology for teaching Spanish Constant Contact. The idea is to put you in contact with Spanish right from the start, and to keep you in touch with the language at all times, morning, noon and night. The process starts as soon as you step out of the airport terminal here in Costa Rica. Twenty minutes later, you’re getting acquainted with your host family or staff members, depending on your lodging choice. You’ll have a day or two to become acquainted with your new surroundings. Then, you’re at Conversa. We give you an oral and a written test, place you in a small group with a maximum of three other classmates around your age, and at your level of proficiency. You’ll have a different instructor every week. The emphasis will be on helping you to acquire listening and speaking skills. The classes are conducted entirely in Spanish. A specific grammar sequence is covered each week, but in a conversation format. You need to attend classes, participate actively in class and prepare your daily homework assignments. You’ll be surprised at the results. Materials Conversa provides every student with a set of text materials. These books have been developed by us and are specifically designed for use in our Intensive and Super Intensive Spanish Programs. They include a Grammar/Homework Book, a Vocabulary Book and a Verb Book with two CD’s. |
