SP 3100 has been designed to help Glendon and Keele students develop the necessary linguistic precision (grammatical, lexical, phonetical, and especially pragmatic) while optimizing their strategies to effectively communicate in Spanish (in oral and written form).
Organized in collaboration with our host institution, the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), this experience abroad will give students the opportunity to live and study among Spanish-speaking students, affirm their knowledge of Spanish, and gain experience working alongside local artisans in community practice.

- community practicums with local artisans
