Accelerated Spanish in Xela, Guatemala

For students who have limited time to study in Quetzaltenango, CX is offering an accelerated Spanish immersion program. With this program, students will be able to master the content of our four and eight-week regular Spanish program in only three or six weeks.

Four levels are available to beginner, intermediate and advanced students.  You are welcome to rquest the syllabus of Spanish I, II, III, and IV.
These courses follow the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) cultural and linguistic proficiency guidelines.

We offer daily social and cultural activities including field trips and excursions during the weekends.

The Spanish teachers have been extensively trained to provide the students a more active role in their learning process (student-centered instruction). As a result, our students are actively involved in their second language acquisition experience which enables them to learn quickly in class.

After your initial assessment, your teacher will write a lesson plan using the GANAG template providing all the linguistic objectives of the week including what you will be learning each day, evaluations, homework assignments, rubrics, thinking maps, logical sequencing of concepts, and more. 

The methodology we use for our classes is based on Stephen Krashen’s “Comprehensive Input”. 

1) The teacher introduces the topic to the student

2) the student reads the rules and forms his/her own rules about the subject

3) the teacher provides feedback with a discussion

4) the students watch or listen to the rules

5) the students practice exercises orally or written

6) the teacher provides feedback to the student

7)  the student takes a quick exit quiz and

8) the teacher evaluates with an exit quiz

9) homework assignment and

10) a test to assess the weak points of the topic to reinforce it again.

Tuition for this program is the same as the other programs: US$185.00 per week low season and $190.00 high season plus homestay.
