This two-week program consists of Spanish classes, cultural activities, lectures, cooking classes, cuisine tasting, city tours, weekend excursions, and dining out at restaurants (as indicated on the schedule). To enhance the experience, homestay accommodations are also part of the program. 

Spanish Classes

The Spanish classes are conducted with a communicative approach, in groups of no more than 5 students, and include different levels. Students will practice grammar using inductive learning strategies, complete exercises, practice conversation, review homework and participate in cultural activities.

The Authentic Culinary Experience

Through lectures, cultural activities, and field trips, students will learn about the fundamental aspects of authentic Mexican gastronomy from its Prehispanic origins to contemporary Mexican cuisine; including regional cooking, home-made dishes and gourmet cuisine. A very important part of the learning is the hands-on experience--from preparing a tortilla to the more elaborate chile relleno.

Progressive Spanish School in Cuernavaca, Mexico

CETLALIC www.cetlalic.org.mx has programs in the language, culture and contemporary issues of Mexico.
Our Spanish language program is demanding, but in a friendly atmosphere.  Paulo Freire's methodology is applied to the teaching of Spanish as a second language and students are expected to contribute their insights and ask the questions necessary for critical analysis. Our teachers are native speakers with professional training and extensive experience. Classes are limited to five students. Every morning, there are three hours of intensive language instruction from 9 to 12, followed by a "práctica" session from 12 to 2, in which students participate in round table discussions on a variety of national & international topics.  Cultural activities are also offered throughout a week and include excursions, visits with native speakers from Mexico and Latin America, videos, and participation in local fiestas and other cultural events.  CETLALIC is accredited by the Ministry of Public Education (State of Morelos, Mexico).
CETLALIC is small and our staff is able to attend to the needs of each student.  Our goal is to promote dialogue between Mexico and the people of other cultures and, in order to reach that goal, we make the experience of every participant our concern.  We welcome all students irrespective of nationality, ethnic origin, race, gender, sexual preference, age, etc. 
We offer small, intensive classes at all levels, year-round, as well as several Special Programs every year, each focused on a particular issue or area of interest, which often include travel in the region.
