Take advantage of the opportunity to spend a week
studying Spanish language and culture in Ensenada,
Mexico. Each week, students attend 30 hours of
classroom instruction at the Center of Languages, a
well-established Mexican language school, in
Ensenada. Students who have completed the program
are eligible for UCSD Extension credit on a
pass/no pass basis as long as they have attended
100% of classroom instruction.
Upon arrival at the Center of Languages, each student’s
language level is evaluated and elementary level students are placed in language level 3. Instructors
combine a variety of language training techniques in
the classroom, such as structure drills, intensive dialogue
practice and role-playing. With classes limited
to six students, the environment is highly interactive
and students receive concentrated support according
to their own learning preferences. Students learn specific grammatical topics and skills, strengthen
their conversational skills, and participate in an hourlong
afternoon minicourse that examines Mexican
cultural topics. In addition to classroom hours, students
have the opportunity to live with a Mexican
host family and join school-sponsored activities. For more information, visit extension.ucsd.edu/travelstudy.
