With eight fully operating language institutions worldwide, the Florida school will be the first to give ELE USAL presence in North America.

1st Spanish Language School from the University of Salamanca is opening in Coral Springs! Regist. starts Sept 12

 

Immersion courses will be available for children and teenagers, and extensive or intensive courses will be available for adults. Students will be able to register for the school starting Monday, September 12th, and classes are scheduled to begin on Monday, October 3rd, 2016.

“We believe it’s imperative that students are properly prepared for the future, starting today,” said Rosane Santana, manager of ELE USAL Florida. “We see a great opportunity and need for specialized and high-quality Spanish-language education in the United States, and that is why we are bringing the ELE USAL program here, so that children are properly equipped to compete with their bilingual counterparts as they enter their professional working years.”

The curriculum for students ages 5 to 15 will focus on the cultural and linguistic immersion following the Critical Age Theory, which is based on the premise that during childhood, language acquisition is a natural consequence of prolonged exposure to a language; therefore, any small child will acquire native fluency in any language if exposed to it on a consistent basis in a social setting.

The curriculum for teenagers and adults will offer specialized courses and programs that will help students have a deep comprehension of the language, as well as the culture and traditions of Spain and all of the Latin American countries. The programs and faculty focus on teaching, fostering and celebrating the Hispanic cultures and the diversity of the Spanish language of the South Florida population through academic curriculum and cultural events. The specialized faculty will provide individual support to ensure that each student maximizes their learning experience every step of the way.
