Description

Students of all Spanish language levels who wish to focus their studies primarily on language acquisition and who are interested in learning about Latin America are invited to participate in CEA's language and cultural immersion program in Chile. Through a semester abroad, students will take both language courses as well as academic courses that will transfer back to their home university. The program offers electives in both English and Spanish. Learn about Latin America through specific courses in film, literature, history and cultural studies, improve your language skills through organized opportunities for cultural engagement. This program also features a unique Early Start option in the spring semester. Students take a four-week intensive language preparation course designed to help them adjust to the university setting and prepare for the semester placement exam.

Highlights

Considered Chile's premiere seaside resort, Viña del Mar provides a great stepping stone to a semester or summer of Spanish language and Latin American cultural study. A short drive from Santiago, Viña del Mar is more laid-back and friendly than Santiago, Chile's capital city. Viña del Mar is conveniently situated and gives visitors easy access to Chile's many natural wonders. The country's topography ranges from the Andes Mountains and arid deserts to sandy beaches and lakes. Viña del Mar also offers easy access to Chile's many natural wonders, including the beautiful coast. Home to a large number of parks and gardens, as its reputation as the Garden City promises, the city is also known for its annual Viña del Mar International Song Festival, held in February. Hone your Spanish language skills while experiencing and absorbing all the Chilean culture has to offer through hands-on excursions to nearby Santiago, a trip into the snow or a tour of the Valparaíso Wineries and the grape harvest.
