Its purpose is to promote the knowledge of the Spanish language, Mexican culture and the country of Mexico among American students and to promote harmony, understanding and solidarity between the two nations. Here's a rundown of the program details. Students are met at the airport in Monterrey by a member of the SOSU faculty and a representative from the Mexican school. The families are carefully selected as to their economic status, cleanliness and hospitality. A faculty member from SOSU will assist students with enrollment.
All teaching is done in Spanish by professional Mexican teachers.
This block of time is for practicing Spanish while getting to know the city, and also for getting help with any homework assignments. Students will travel on a first-class chartered bus, accompanied by SOSU's faculty representative and the director of the Summer Institute. Hotel accommodations and one meal per day are included. During the 4-week stay, a faculty member from SOSU will be in Saltillo to advise students, monitor classes, check progress with instructors and assist with any problems. Transportation to and from Monterrey, as well as students' personal spending money, are extra.
