Mexico
Term: Summer
Dates: Mid- May - late June
Description:
Duke in Mexico offers two intensive Spanish courses at the Universidad de las Americas (UDLA) under the direction of Assistant Director of the Spanish Language Program at Duke. This is an opportunity for students to become immersed in Mexican culture for six weeks while studying elementary or intermediate Spanish. After successful completion of the program, students will receive two course credits for the summer session in Mexico. Material covered in Spanish 1 and 2 will be combined in the first course, Spanish 13. The second course, Spanish 16, will offer intensive intermediate material covered on campus in Spanish 63 and 76. Mastery of the coursework will be facilitated by increased exposure to Hispanic culture and language through local mass media, native speakers, and immersion into Mexican society.
Highlights:
In order to experience first-hand the diversity of Mexican culture, geography, art, and indigenous peoples the Intensive Spanish Institutes will go on various excursions. In Mexico City you will go on guided tours of the Anthropology Museums, the Zocalo, and the Frida Kahlo Museum. You will also visit Teotihuacn, the pre-Columbian ruins of the City of the Gods. Enjoy the mountains in Oaxaca and try your hand at bartering in the markets of Taxco, a town specializing in handmade silver jewelry.
