The Spanish as a Second Language (SSL) Program welcomes foreign students whose first language is not Spanish. Through weekly classes, students will be prepared to achieve an independent user of the language level with the goal of joining a regular Spanish class as soon as possible. In those regular classes, they will continue with a full immersion method where students can acquire a high academic language and skills to become proficient.
Our goal is to develop oral and written communication skills and an understanding of other cultural perspectives and practices in a highly academic context.
Prepare students in a bilingual and pluricultural environment where they can learn Spanish with native speakers within a sociocultural nature of learning and language acquisition process. Develop metalinguistic awareness to talk about language, both within and across language systems.
Being part of the SSL Program at Interamericano is advantageous as the native language for the majority of our community. Students learning Spanish will find no shortage of other learners, with differing competency levels. This means that, throughout the process of acquiring the language, it will be relatively easy to find people to practice with and ask for help.
