ENMU to Offer Two Spanish Immersion Programs this Summer

Like 50 American universities, ENMU has cancelled its Spanish Immersion Program in Merida, Mexico this summer.

The Spanish Immersion Program has been relocated from Merida, Mexico, to Portales, New Mexico, and will take place at ENMU from June 8 to July 3, 2009 during the first four-week summer session.

The Spanish Immersion Program is open to all students who have completed SPAN 102 or its equivalent.

It may also appeal to teachers from the local community who wish to brush up on their Spanish skills without having to travel abroad.

Faculty members can use their tuition waivers for take one or two of these courses.

Students who wish to participate fully in the one-month Spanish Immersion Program can take two courses which are available at the both the 200 and 400 level.

Courses available include SPAN 293/405 (Grammar Review from 12:40–2:50 p.m.) and SPAN 210-410 (Spanish Culture from 3–5:10 p.m.) All classes run Monday through Friday. Special Spanish movie nights will be offered every evening from 7–9 p.m.

Students can opt to live in a "Spanish Wing" on residence, and eat lunch and dinner in Spanish at the cafeteria for a reasonable price.

All Spanish speakers and students are invited to participate in our Spanish table at the cafeteria and attend our nightly Spanish movie screenings.

Students will also have the opportunity to participate in week-end excursions to linguistically and culturally relevant locations in the region for an additional price.

Students should be aware that there are two different Spanish programs offered at ENMU this summer: the one-month Spanish Immersion Program open to all students with SPAN 102 or higher which runs from June 8 to July 3, and the one-week Spanish Immersion Institute which runs from June 14 to June 21, and which is designed to certify bilingual elementary teachers.
