By analyzing theoretical and practical elements of both grammar and technique, teachers will review methods in the field of foreign languages. It is also intended to sensitize teachers on the importance of their work within a student’s language learning process as well as to introduce socio-linguistic and socio-cultural elements.
Specific Program Details
Information about Guanajuato, Mexico (Click to view)
For nearly 200 years beginning in 1558, Guanajuato was one of the richest silver producing cities in the world. The city possesses many subterranean passageways and narrow, winding streets that make it truly unique. Brightly painted houses line steep slopes of a ravine that once contained a river. This extremely charming city is culturally very lively and exhibits an energetic, youthful feel. This is due in part to the 15,000 students attending the University of Guanajuato that is known for its art programs. During the last two weeks of October, Guanajuato hosts the Cervantes Arts Festival, attracting famous artists from around the world.
Diversity is the word that best describes Mexico's people and geography. Over 50 different indigenous groups, each with its own language, comprise 28% of Mexico's 83 million inhabitants. Divided by the Tropic of Cancer into the temperate North and the tropical South, the country boasts snow-capped volcanoes, jungle clad beaches, deserts, archeological ruins, modern cities, upscale resorts, and isolated villages.
Participants: This program is open to Spanish educators or education students planning to teach Spanish who are at an advanced language level
