Internships - Advanced
Internships
An internship capitalizes on the potential for your immersion in the Spanish culture and your intercultural development, enriching your understanding and appreciation of the culture of the host country. This form of experiential learning develops your intercultural competence, builds your skill set and improves your Spanish language proficiency. You will upgrade your resume and this will allow you to obtain future professional experience.Business, Architecture and Language Teaching Internships integrate academic learning with practical experience and help you to make the transition from the university to the working world. Participation in an Internship is not dependent on your Spanish language proficiency. Students from all tracks (beginner, intermediate I, intermediate II & advanced) are admitted to the Business, Architecture and Language Teaching seminar. Only Advanced and Intermediate II Spanish level students will be admitted into the Advanced Spanish for Service Learning, which is taught in Spanish.

| SP395 - Advanced Spanish for Service Learning |

| This course is focused on the language teaching process, considered
from two different perspectives: On the one hand, students will be required to complete practical projects whilst working within different
communities and social centers in Barcelona, for example, old peoples homes, cultu??Nral centers for immigrants, associations for women, public and
private schools. Students are required to work for eight hours a week at their assigned placement. The second part of this course involves lectures, activies, film and TV series viewings and class debates concerning various themes of
social interest in Spain, directly related to students' individual interests and work within the local community. In this way the linguistic
content of the course will be presented and strategies will be developed to aid the dual development of Spanish language skills and work
experience within the local community. In order to take this course students must receive written authorization from their home school that 3
