Established in 1987, the Department of Spanish is a section of the Language Faculty. It offers a Spanish as Foreign Language program as well as Latin American studies optional courses.
SPANISH AS FOREIGN LANGUAGE PROGRAM
The Spanish courses include six levels, ranging from beginner to advanced. During the class, our teachers focus their attention on the communicative function of language. The students obtain confidence in their communicative skills and they learn more about Mexican people and cultural diversity.
COURSEWORK MATERIALS
Coursework includes a variety of texts, teacher-designed materials and exercises, as well as the use of other teaching aids. Our teachers have written their own didactic texts "Mosaico 1" and "Mosaico 2". These books are utilized in the program and can be purchased at the Center. The book “Mosaico 3” is about to be printed.
