Summer Language Study

The International School Manila Modern Language Department is pleased to announce its 2012Summer Language Study / Home-stay / Travel Program to Spain. This program is for students14 years of age or older as of June 1st. It aims to develop students language proficiency and

to broaden their cultural knowledge. This program is being offered in cooperation with Tan-dem (http://www.escuela-montalban.com/index.php). We with spend three weeks at theGranada campus and one week at the Madrid campus. Students will continue learning and

more importantly practicing Spanish through total immersion in classes and during the home-stay. The Tan-dem school finds families for students to stay with, assists in locating appropriate local resources for thegroups activities, plans outings, maintains a list of local medical and emergency resources, and helps withthe orientation for group leaders.

Students will receive Spanish classes each morning that include language and culture subjects and preparestudents for cultural visits. The cultural program will take place in the afternoons/evenings and will be madeup of various supervised activities that take advantage of the unique environment while taking into accountthe individual interests of the students. Cultural activities include things such as preparing paella, guidedtours of historical buildings, towns and museums, watching flamenco dancing, visiting hot water springs,beach trips, horseback riding, etc.

The dates of this trip will be approximately June 2nd 30th, 2012. If you are interested, please contact Jenni-fer Diaz ([email protected]) to receive more information. Students and parents interested in this trip toSpain should plan to attend an informational meeting at 5:30 P.M. on Wednesday, February 29th.
