Is the Intensive Program for Me?
Salamanca University’s intensive Spanish language courses take place every month and are available to students at all levels of language proficiency.
Typically, students choose this course format because they have a limited study period within which they wish to learn as much Spanish as possible, either for personal or professional purposes, or in some cases to prepare for an upcoming extended period of study in Spain. Because of this, the student body in these courses is quite varied, with students of all ages and backgrounds sharing the same classroom.
At least two weeks before the start of the course, you will need to take an online placement test that is assessed to determine the student’s appropriate level of study.
The class schedule will be available a few days before the start of the course.
The daily learning structure is as follows:
- Hours 1-2: Spanish language and grammar.
The objective of this course is to increase students’ fluency in the target language, with special focus on grammar and vocabulary. The teaching methodology follows a communicative and functional approach, in which students are exposed to a variety of tasks and activities in real communicative contexts. - Hour 3: Students take optional subjects:
