Longwood
University, in affiliation with the Institute of Spanish Studies (Valencia,
Spain) and the Centre International d'Etudes Françaises de l'Université
Catholique de l'Ouest (Angers, France), is pleased to offer its Summer
Institutes for Spanish and French Teachers 2005.
Participants will spend two weeks living with Spanish or French families
and attending classes, as well as visiting sites of cultural and historical
significance. Participants
may earn three (3) or six (6) graduate credits.
Courses
offered are graduate-level courses. Participants must hold a B.A. degree in
Spanish or French and should be teaching or planning to teach the language.
Applicants who hold a B.A. degree in another discipline must have
completed at least two upper-level undergraduate courses in Spanish or French to
be eligible. Nevertheless, participants at all levels of oral proficiency will
be eligible. The goal of the Institute is to offer the opportunity to improve
one's ability in all of the language skill areas.
Courses
You
may choose one or two courses (three or six graduate credits).
Please be advised, however, that due to the short length of the program,
those choosing to take two classes will be very busy, and may not have as great
a chance to take advantage of the cultural opportunities offered by socializing
with family members, etc.
This is a very intensive program, and those who would like to have a
little free time should take only one of the classes.
Requirements for all classes include attendance and participation in the
classes, participation in the cultural activities and visits, some readings and
short essays, an exam, and a research style paper to be completed after the end
of the program and mailed to Longwood University.
In some cases, you may receive materials to read before the start of the
program.
Detailed course syllabi will be available in April.
Courses to be offered in France will be
announced soon on the website.
