Working With Children in Spain
Valladolid
This program is scheduled to run again in summer 2011. Please check back for updated information.
This program is being offered in cooperation with the Instituto de Cultura Hispanica. It is designed to give students the tools to teach a second language, and experience working with children who are learning English as a second language.
While students are in Spain they will take three classes including conversational Spanish, teaching a second language to young children, and using music to teach young children.
During the last two weeks students will be placed at an internship site – either a day camp or nursery – where they will apply the knowledge learned from their coursework while working with children.

5 weeks in June and July
