It is thought that the program will be of special interest to veterans of OSU's Cuernavaca Program and other former students of Spanish whose language skills may have deteriorated over time. All interested persons are invited to register. There are no age limits for participation in the program, but university credit is available only to those eligible for enrollment at OSU, either through Continuing Education, the Graduate School, or a regular degree program. Enrollment will be limited to 35 participants. Early registration is advised.
Classes are very small, with no more than seven students in each.
Specific course content is summarized below. This course seeks to provide motivated individuals with basic, culturally-appropriate oral language skills that will enable them to communicate in a variety of social contexts. The course assumes no background in Spanish. This course provides a structured format for putting dormant language skills back into practice. With a special focus on oral communication, the curriculum revisits grammatical structures, vocabulary, pronunciation, and courtesies that participants will most likely have studied at some point, albeit long ago.
