Spanish Classes

Before you leave Oregon, register for the level of Spanish that you have not yet studied (SPAN 101, 102, 103, 111, 201, 202, 203, 211, 212, and 213 are available).  Some colleges have placement exams if you are unsure, or you may want to speak with a Spanish instructor.  At ICLC, students are also tested and placed according to Spanish language ability:  Superior, Advanced, Intermediate, Novice.  By Tuesday of the first week, classes are taught entirely in Spanish—no translations.  This is total immersion!

There are four students per instructor.  Instructors are rotated, and groups can change as conditions dictate.  Instructors utilize speaking, listening, music, video, literature and newspapers during the course of a day.  Instruction is 4 to 5 hours per day, five days per week.  Students accumulate more than the minimum 40 hours of Spanish instruction required by the Oregon college system for one term of college credit.  In fact, they can accumulate over 50 hours of instruction.
