Spanish Language & Cultural Competency for Educators
El Nomad’s Programs for Educators are designed specifically for professional educators and graduate students in education seeking a professional development experience during any of their school holidays.
Programs can be as short as one week and combine Spanish language learning at an accredited university, cultural competency development, and homestays with local families.
Participants take 20 hours of basic Spanish language instruction per week in one-on-one courses at an accredited university in Cuenca.
Accommodation is with a Spanish-speaking Ecuadorian family in a private room with three meals per day.
Optional cultural activities are offered several days per week and volunteer experiences are available upon request.
Excursions in and around Cuenca can be added for an additional fee.
