Salamanca University Spanish Language Courses

Summer Spanish Courses

The Summer Spanish language courses are arranged during the months of July and August, starting at the beginning of each month. Depending on when you start it is possible to sign up for a 2, 4, 6 or 8 week program.

The Summer Spanish language courses are very similar in structure to the short and long term courses, students are able to choose between 15, 20 or 25 lessons per week. The difference for this type of Summer course are the higher number of optional Spanish subjects available to choose from and also the possibility for students to sign up for additional conversation classes.

There are 4 different levels ranging from complete beginners to advanced speakers; on the first day of the Spanish language course all students will be required to do a placement test to determine what level they will be in.

The language course structure is the following:

• The first two hours are spent on Spanish language and grammar for all levels.
• The third hour, and in the case of beginners, is for broadening vocabulary. Students of the higher levels can choose between one of the following subjects: Spanish culture, global communicative practice, history of contemporary Spain, Spanish for business, commentary on literary texts and translation from: German, French, English, Italian, Japanese or Portuguese to Spanish.
• For the fourth hour (for students who have selected at least 20 classes per week) students of the lower levels will have language laboratory and communication activities while student at higher levels can select from the following subjects: global communicative practice, practice of oral skills, history of Spanish art, Spanish literature or economy and society in modern day Spain.
• For the fifth hour (for students who have selected 25 classes per week) students at lower levels will have language laboratory and communication activities while students of the higher levels can choose between the following subjects: Spanish culture or practice of written skills.
