Students studying abroad in Cadiz at Centro MundoLengua’s Summer abroad in Spain program undertake an intensive program with a balanced approach to foreign language learning.

Professors in the course have a refreshingly dynamic and communicative approach to foreign language learning, something that helps the program stand out in a country where foreign language teachers have a tendency to focus more on their students’ comprehension of grammar and written language. The consequence of this approach is that listening, speaking, reading and writing abilities are all valued, monitored, assessed and developed equally.

Students studying in a 3 week long program receive 48 hours of tuition and must complete 42 hours of personal work, while those in a 6 week program receive 96 hours of tuition while completing 84 hours of personal work outside the classroom.

Prior to arrival at the University of Cadiz, each student must complete an online placement exam that evaluates the student’s existing command of the Spanish language. Your performance on this exam allows the university to grade your ability and subsequently assign an appropriate, corresponding study class, ranging from A1 absolute beginner level to C2 native speaker level. You will then attend classes for the duration of the program with other students of comparable ability, with classes lasting four hours in length and taking place from Mondays to Thursday inclusive.

The classes last from between 3 and 6 weeks and are available for any university or college level student over the age of 18, with the maximum class size of 22 students.
