During the month of July, the Spanish Language School ELE USAL Costa Rica received 20 postgraduate students from the MLSA Summer Program (Modern Language Studies Abroad), who came to study intensive courses on Latin American Culture, Central American Literature, Methods and Techniques for the Teaching of Spanish and Advanced Conversation in order to improve their skills and abilities in teaching Spanish, since many of them are teachers of Spanish Language and Literature in the United States. The program lasted for a month, from June 27 to July 26, in which the students participated in cultural and recreational activities such as literary tours, Zumba classes, cinema forums, and afternoons of conversation with Costa Rican students.
At the end of the program, the students stated that they had enjoyed their learning experience at ELE USAL Costa Rica and that they felt comfortable in a country that made them feel at home.
