A Real World Learning Experience: Acquiring
Language and Culture in the Dominican Republic
Conversational Spanish Students engage in increasing their
knowledge of Spanish through a conversational Spanish course.
The course seeks to develop students’ abilities in oral Spanish
communication, widen their vocabulary, and teach them aspects of
Dominican culture.
Students will receive three (3) undergraduate credits from PUCMM. The class will
be taught by a professor from PUCMM.
St. John’s Course Offerings:
In addition to the Spanish conversation course, students also have
the opportunity to take courses through St. John’s School of
Education and receive up to six (6) graduate credits for any of the
following TESOL course offerings:
EDU 9002: Psychology and Sociology of Language and
Bilingualism
EDU 9006: Human Development in Cross-Cultural
Perspective
EDU 9013: Research in Language, Culture and
Communication
Students who wish to take one or two of these classes must register
and make payment of St. John’s tuition/fees in addition to all
other costs incurred by the Study Abroad Program.
