The number of students per class group is between 6 and 16. TESL students can be placed in the basic, intermediate, or advanced levels. The students' age range is between 13 and 30. Most of them attend not because they are obligated to, but because they are interested in learning the language and the culture, as well as meeting foreign students and teachers. Students at CCL are not only studying English.
Students come from many countries to study Spanish and the Mexican culture.
Teachers at CCL use a communicative approach, allowing students to practice the four skills of language using different materials such as readings, interactive CD ROMS, pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary exercises. Some English classes occasionally use videos, allowing students to learn about important aspects of American and British culture. CCL provides foreign students with a cultural component. The cultural component includes a limited number of activities such as Mexican cooking classes, folk and salsa dancing classes, workshops with Mexican students, as well as a one-day excursion.
