SPANISH LANGUAGE IMMERSION
CUENCA, ECUADOR
June 28-July 16 (travel dates) |
The Spanish study abroad program in Cuenca, Ecuador, is designed for SPC students who want to dramatically increase their Spanish language skills.
“I just want to add that every professor involved in the Cuenca trip, both Profs. Levin and Trujillo, as well as the staff at Sampere were awesome. I can’t stress enough how rich an experience I had because of the quality of instruction and encouragement I received from all of them. Sampere not only provided us with the language portion of our studies, but with many field trips and other cultural outings that kept us busy, interested, and learning while having fun.” DeWanna Stanton
This is a three-week intensive language experience where the student is immersed in the language and culture of Ecuador. It is coordinated by Estudio Sampere.
Classes are offered at all levels and are taught by Ecuadorian professors five days a week. The instructional program includes 20 language lessons addressing function and communicative skills plus four cultural lessons per week. Cultural activities and tours reinforce the student’s proficiency in the language and appreciation of the culture.

PROGRAM COST ESTIMATES
In order to help you keep your costs down, students are responsible for arranging their own transportation to Ecuador.
For planning purposes, we have provided a detailed cost estimate summary that includes a rough estimate of what you can expect to pay for your travel. You may find that you are able to secure flight arrangements for a significantly lower cost than what is noted on the form. The cost estimate summary also can be used to calculate other program costs (tuition, etc). Please let us know if you have any questions.
