Student Learning Outcomes:
Students will improve their Spanish oral and written skills; they will learn also the pragmatics of the language, that is, cultural aspects like politeness, social distance, indirect speech, etc. They will learn how to deal with real situations (supermarket, cafeteria, cinema, etc) since they will be immersed directly with the language during four weeks. This experience will help them to become independent learners and expand their world views. It will also help them to bring more awareness about their own culture and bring connections with the Spanish one.
