Intensive Spanish Language [60 Hrs.] + Spanish Gastronomy Course: Cuisine, Culture & Language [225 Hrs] – Spring 2024

Intensive Spanish Language

The Intensive Spanish Language Courses (CILE) are designed for those students who wish to start learning or improve their Spanish, or in preparation for a subsequent course of study. We highly recommend that you take a CILE class in September or January if your goal is to continue into the SPanish Language and Culture program or the Hispanic Studies program during the semester. Or, if it has been a while since your last Spanish class, it is a very effective way to refresh and advance your knowledge.

CILE classes are taught at every level from A1 to C1 (CLM Level 1-Beginners to CLM Level 8-Superior). An essentially communicative approach is followed in these courses along with the use of the most up-to-date audio-visual technology. The average number of students per class is 12.

Gastronomy Course: Cuisine, Culture & Language

This Spanish Gastronomy program is appropriate for the intermediate student who likes the culinary world and wishes to receive comprehensive and quality knowledge, we strongly recommend this program for you. This Gastronomy course will provide you with the essential theoretical and technical know-how to develop and improve your culinary skills, whilst studying Spanish gastronomic culture and language.

The 225–hour course is divided into different subjects and includes a complete program of cooking classes. These will take place in the facilities of the Centro de Formación Profesional La Inmaculada

Students must place into level B1.2 (CLM Level 5-Upper Intermediate) or have passed B1.1 (CLM Level 4-Intermediate) in order to enrol in this program. As a general guideline, students who have taken approximately 3-4 semesters of college-level Spanish will place into Spanish Language and Culture. Students must have a fair command of the Spanish language in order to succeed in these classes.
