Introduction
Spanish Language and Culture: A Practical Experience in Buenos Aires is an intensive course designed for international undergraduate and graduate students seeking to develop linguistic and cultural tools to navigate everyday and academic settings in Spanish.
Over the course of eight weeks at Universidad del CEMA, the program combines dynamic classes, immersive workshops, and cultural outings that integrate language learning with a deeper understanding of life in Buenos Aires—Latin America’s top-ranked student city (QS 2024).
With a focus on functional communication, the course encourages the active use of Spanish through real-life contexts: from oral presentations and formal emails to guided visits to cafés, museums, and local fairs. It is an ideal program for students looking for a transformative learning experience, direct cultural engagement, and an academically rigorous environment.
Methodology
The course adopts a communicative and experiential approach, focused on developing practical language skills for everyday and academic contexts. Sessions are interactive and emphasize real-life communication through dialogue-based exercises, role-playing, and situational learning.
Beyond the classroom, students are encouraged to engage with the local culture and environment as part of their language acquisition process. The program promotes active participation and cultural immersion, helping students build fluency and confidence in a natural and supportive setting.
To whom is intended
The course is designed for international undergraduate and graduate students, as well as non-student participants from abroad, who are interested in improving their Spanish language skills. It is particularly suited for those seeking to enhance their ability to communicate effectively in everyday situations and engage with academic content in Spanish-speaking environments. Whether for personal, academic, or professional purposes, the program offers a supportive and immersive setting to strengthen linguistic competence in both informal and formal contexts.
