Program Overview: La Janda
La Janda is a small and personal school located
in a very special environment. The school is ideal for the
student who wants to experience the Spanish way of life in
very unique surroundings. Recently La Janda signed an agreement
to collaborate closely with our CLIC school in Sevilla. Standards
at La Janda have been adjusted to fall in line with what CLIC
offers. In addition this agreement now makes it very easy
for students to spend time at both locations and receive virtually
the same quality of instruction. What better way to learn
Spanish while at the same time discovering two different parts
of Spain.
La Janda offers language courses and programs
that emphasize the participant's ability to communicate. The
goal of the school is to help the student intensively develop
their linguistic skills. While the reading and writing aspect
is covered the main emphasis is working on a students speaking
abilities.
La Janda offers students the opportunity
to take small group instruction and private instruction. As
with many of our schools, the private instruction portion
can be used to cover specialized topics. |
