For the student planning an overseas study

strong commitment to providing excellent academic programs and services, Council–ISP and the Academic Consortium have developed a
In response to growing interest surrounding political and economic
developments in both Europe and Latin America, Council greatly
expanded program offerings in these regions in the late 1980s. Subsequent development of programs throughout Southeast Asia and Africa
in the early 1990s has provided students with an opportunity to participate in a less traditional study abroad experience and further expand
the range of overseas program options available to U.S. students.
Current program development is focused on Francophone Africa, South
Asia, and expanding opportunities in Europe.
Our long-standing commitment to providing a wide array of innovative
programs, both through destination and program objective, has made
the right program for you
Council–ISP one of the leaders in study abroad.

Study abroad programs of varying length (summer, semester, and academic year) allow students to choose programs that complement
their academic and career goals and fit within
their budgets. A wide variety of disciplines are
represented, including intensive language
study, fine arts, business, social sciences,
humanities, natural sciences, and development
studies. With such a wide variety of programs,
many students study at more than one site.
Special fees are available for combining two or
more Council Study Center programs.
Pre-departure Services
Council’s New York staff provides advising and
assistance with admissions and pre-departure
preparation for students, as well as extensive
information and a range of support services for
faculty and study abroad administrators. Council
secures a study visa when appropriate or provides detailed information and documentation for
students where individual application is required.
Resident Staff and Support Services
All Council Study Centers have on-site resident
staff who oversee the academic and cultural
program, conduct thorough orientation sessions, act as liaison with the host institution,
and provide counseling to program participants.
At many Centers the Resident Director is a
U.S. academic who is a permanent Council
employee. In some instances, the Resident
Director is on a short-term contract and returns
to teaching in one of the consortium institutions at the end of a year or two. In still other
Centers, Council appoints a local faculty member or member of the university’s administration as Resident Director. In all cases our resident staff are fluent in English and familiar
with the U.S. system of education, and the
expectations of U.S. students.
Council Study Centers Introduction
Host Institutions and Student Integration
Inclusive Fees
Each Center is associated with an institution
in the host country. Almost all Centers are
located at universities, where contact with
host country students is natural and easy for
participants. In some cases, participants have
direct access to ongoing host institution
courses; in others, where language poses a
barrier, courses are specially designed and
offered by the faculty of the host institution.
The Resident Director assists in integrating
participants into the local student population
through residence in dorms, peer tutors and
mentors, and through extracurricular activities
such as sports and clubs.
Council Study Center fees include tuition, orientation, cultural activities, local excursions
and field trips, medical insurance, and an
International Student Identity Card (ISIC).
Many program fees also include room and
board and visa fees. Each program section provides detailed information on what is included
and estimated additional costs.
Internships and Voluntary Service
Council is committed to providing opportunities for students to take part in voluntary service or internships, in order to better facilitate
integration into the host community and language learning outside the classroom. Council
offers parallel internship programs, field study,
and other not-for-credit activities in locations
where for-credit internships are not available.
In many locations, participants volunteer in
local schools, sometimes teach English, and
assist in local social service organizations.
Language Study Beyond the Classroom
Training in the language of the host country is
an essential component of each program. In
addition to classroom and laboratory work,
many Council Study Centers offer students the
opportunity to live with local families, an
excellent way to practice the language, and to
gain insight into the local culture.
Cost breakdowns are available on Council’s web
site at www.ciee.org/study/fees/cscfees.htm.
Satisfied Alumni
Council can provide names and contact information of former participants who are interested in
sharing their knowledge and experiences.
Council Application
An application and detailed instructions are
included in this catalog. Each Council Study
Center has specific eligibility requirements that
must be met prior to departure, though not necessarily at the time of application. It is important to read the details in each program section
and the application instructions carefully.
Application deadlines are the date by which
the application should be received by Council’s
New York office. Home institutions and Schools
of Record may have earlier deadlines. Because
applications for most programs are reviewed
on a rolling basis, students are encouraged to
submit applications well ahead of the application deadlines. Late applications are considered on a space-available basis.
Commitment to Diversity
Consistent with our mission, Council–ISP, does
not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, age,
sexual orientation, religion, marital status,
national or ethnic origin, or disability.
Council–ISP is committed to creating opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds
to participate on our study abroad programs.
Our commitment to diversity is present
through a number of initiatives. Council–ISP
has successfully arranged accommodations for
students with disabilities in a variety of programs including Australia, Brazil, and Russia.
We are proud of our long-standing collaboration with Mobility International USA (MIUSA)
in advocating participation of students with
disabilities in education abroad. Council–ISP
administers the Robert B. Bailey Scholarship
for underrepresented groups in study abroad,

designed to help defray the cost of participation in an overseas experience for students
who might otherwise face financial barriers.
We also actively participate in the Forum on
Underrepresenation in Study Abroad, a volunteer group working to expand opportunities at
a policy level. To encourage study in Africa,
Asia, and Latin America, Council–ISP offers
the John E. Bowman Travel Grant and collaborates with NAFSA: Association of International
Educators in sponsoring the Whole World
Committee at our Annual Conference. In addition, Council–ISP has representation on the
advisory board of NAFSA’s LGBT-sig (Lesbian,
Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Special Interest
Group).

From Belgium to Turkey, the Council Study
Center programs throughout Europe provide
students with well planned, fully integrated
and intellectually challenging course work,
combined with well-structured co-curricular
activities that take advantage of the setting on
which their studies are focused.
With a range of programs at ten Council Study
Centers, students are encouraged to participate
for an academic year, either in one destination
or by spending the fall and spring semesters in
different locations, providing an excellent
opportunity for comparative analysis of the
region and its cultures. With programs taught
in English in Belgium, the Czech Republic,
England, Hungary, the Netherlands, Poland,
Russia, Spain, and Turkey students have the
opportunity to pursue a yearlong independent
study of issues such as NATO expansion, European integration, and immigration and refugee
issues. Students have the opportunity to begin
host country language training in each of these
Centers.
Students interested in pursuing their foreign
language, area studies, and cultural/critical
studies interests will find strongly evaluated
programs at Council Study Centers in France,
Russia, and Spain. Each of these Centers is
committed to providing the strongest immersion environment as possible.

Is this the right program for you? This program is designed for students who are highly academic, have two and one half years of college-level Spanish, and have a strong interest in Spain.
Program Goals The goals of this program are to solidify advanced
language students’ language skills through rigorous academic offerings and to provide program participants with an understanding of
Spain, in particular, issues relevant to contemporary Spain. These
goals are achieved through the language course offerings, specially
designed courses offered through the Instituto de Estudios Norteamericanos de la Universidad de Alcalá (the Institute), and extensive
excursions throughout Spain.
Program Highlights Homestays or University residence housing;
extensive excursions throughout Spain; proximity to Madrid: program
courses frequently use Madrid to supplement classroom activities;
special interest lectures; sports and special interest activities sponsored by Council, the Institute, and the Universidad de Alcalá.

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION
Spanish
Academic Program
Offered for the first time in fall 1999, the Liberal Arts Program at Universidad de Alcalá is
designed to provide a rigorous academic program for students at the advanced level of
Spanish language proficiency through a combination of specially designed courses offered
through the Institute and direct matriculation
into regular University courses. Students must
enroll in at least one specially designed
course offered by the Institute including
Advanced Grammar, Composition and Conversation, Professional Spanish, Introduction to
Peninsular Literature, Introduction to Spanish
American Literature, Contemporary Spanish
Literature, Popular Culture, History of Art,
Liberal Arts Program Universidad de Alcalá (Comunidad Autónoma de Madrid) Spain Semester & Academic Year
Contemporary Spanish Theatre, International
Business, Spain and the European Union, and
Spanish Civilization. In addition, students who
have the required proficiency in Spanish and
necessary prerequisite course work may enroll
in one or more courses at the regular facultades of the University. Students enroll in at
least four courses each semester among those
offered by the Institute and the University.
Assessment
In Council and Institute courses students are
normally graded on the basis of class participation, in class activities, homework assignments, examinations, papers, and often oral
presentations, much as in the United States. In
regular university courses, assessment is
often based solely on an examination given at
the end of the semester. Grades are given on a
10-point scale.
Academic Culture
In the fall semester Institute courses start the
second week in September and end in midDecember. Courses offered in the University
facultades run from late September with exams
ending in mid-February. Fall semester only students interested in enrolling in regular university courses must be prepared to stay until the
end of the examination period in February.
In the spring semester, Institute courses begin
in early January and run through the end of
April. Courses offered in the facultades begin in
late February with exams usually scheduled in
mid-July. Institute courses are preceded by a
week-long orientation session.
Classes meet Monday–Thursday for one and
one-half hours twice a week. Fridays are
reserved for class-related activities, weekend
excursions, and field trips to Madrid and surrounding areas. Classroom space is modern and
very comfortable. The Institute is housed in a
17th century convent renovated to preserve the
beauty and charm of an old building while at
the same time providing excellent office and
classroom space. A fair number of classrooms
are equipped with slide projectors and television sets with video players. Class size varies
between eight and twenty-three students per
class. The level of instruction is at the advanced
level, and the Institute offers classes at the
graduate level in which Council students may
register if they meet prerequisite and languagelevel requirements. In their classroom building
students have access to a computer room in
which each student registered at the center has
a personal e-mail account and access to computers for class-related activities.
Although extracurricular activities and personal travel contribute vitally to the student’s
overall European experience, attendance in
class is paramount. Early departure for or late
return from vacations is not allowed. Any
extended travel should take place prior to the
start of the program, during the semester
break, or upon completion of the program.

Location
The city of Alcalá de Henares, named a World
Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1998, is located
40 minutes northeast of Madrid and is best
known as the birthplace of Miguel de Cervantes, author of Don Quixote. This historical
city with a population of 160,000 is composed
of about 16,500 university students, giving the
city the feel of a young and vibrant “college”
town. Aesthetically pleasing, Alcalá de
Henares has a wonderful mixture of harmonious streets, noble architecture including
impressive university buildings dating back to
the 16th century, contemplative convents, and
graceful storks which nest on the top of the
buildings in the city center. Cervantes Square
is the central meeting place for faculty, students, and the city’s inhabitants. Alcalá itself
offers many cultural and artistic attractions
and the expanded opportunities of Madrid are
readily accessible.
Host Institution
The Universidad de Alcalá was founded in
1499 and quickly gained a reputation for excellence. In 1836, the University transferred to
the nearby capital of Madrid, leaving the facilities in Alcalá unused until 1977 when the University was re-established, first as an extension of the University of Madrid and later as
an independent entity. Because of its history,
the Universidad de Alcalá offers the advantages of an ancient tradition coupled with the
initiative and spirit of innovation found in
newer universities.
The University has six schools with 16,500 students and a teaching staff of just under 1,000.
Of particular interest to U.S. students are the
schools of Filosofía y Letras, Ciencias Económicas y Empresariales, and Derecho (political science subjects).
The Instituto de Estudios Norteamericanos de
la Universidad de Alcalá (the Institute), coordinates all cooperative arrangements between
the University and U.S. institutions of higher
education. The Institute offers academic programs in North American Studies for Spanish
students and in Hispanic Studies for U.S. students enrolled in the University.
In addition to course offerings, a comprehensive sports program is available including
classes and internal and external competition
in badminton, archery, Taekwondo, rugby, ping
pong, gymnastics, tennis, women’s basketball,
karate, women’s indoor soccer, squash, crosscountry running, golf, swimming, paddleball,
handball, soccer, basketball, volleyball, fencing, and judo. An excellent selection of
extracurricular activities and noncredit classes
exists including chess, applied music, chorus,
dance, theater, and a number of social clubs.
Orientation
A weeklong orientation session, conducted at
the beginning of the program, introduces students to the country, the culture, and the academic program, and provides practical information about living in Spain and Alcalá in particular. Such themes as the Spanish university
system, banking, safety, visa regulations, how
and where to shop, money issues, cultural
adaptation, and many others are covered. Students also take part in a language workshop
designed to reinforce language skills. A language skills diagnostic examination is also
conducted to identify the linguistic level of all
participants so that each student is placed in
appropriate courses in the academic program.
Orientation includes both structured cultural
activities and independent sightseeing and is
maintained on an individual basis throughout
the program.
Cultural Activities and Field Trips
The academic program is supplemented with
field trips and excursions which are mandatory. They include visits in Alcalá de Henares,
field trips into Madrid, excursions to nearby
sites of interest such as El Escorial, Toledo,
Segovia, and overnight trips to SalamancaAvila. Longer trips may include trips to
Andalucía, Barcelona, and Spain’s northern
coast. They are planned to supplement classwork and to introduce students to different
geographical, linguistic, and cultural areas of
Spain and its major cities.

El Taller del Español/Spanish Language
Workshop
El taller del Español is a series of interrelated
language study seminars. Based on the results
of the diagnostic exams administered during
orientation, particular attention is given to the
difficulties and deficiencies in listening comprehension, composition, phonetics, semantics, and lexicology that hinder the students’
progress toward a sophisticated level of language competency.
The course of study consists of group sessions
in which problems common to all participants
are examined and controlled sessions in which
participants are grouped by evidence of difficulty with particular problems. The course
structure insures attention to individual problems at this difficult stage of language acquisition. Extensive use of directed written and
oral composition obligates the students to
constantly polish the everyday Spanish that
they acquire in their immersion environment.

Spanish Art
This course organizes the field of the arts of
contemporary Spain as a history of art but
rather than a catalog of great works and
artists, the course allows participants to feel
at ease in the presence of the work of art and
to appreciate it as well. The “why of liking or
not liking a masterpiece” is important. For that
reason, instruction delves into art terminology
and how to talk about art for purpose of definitions, characteristics common to a particular
movement, individual and general styles, and
how the work of art provokes/stimulates the
individual. Core cases for study: Goya, Dalí,
Gaudí, Picasso, Miró. Course work takes place

How to choose a regular Universidad de
Alcalá course
The Universidad de Alcalá offers Spanish students majors in all the fields one would expect
to find at a major university. Council suggests
the students review with their academic advisor at home what courses might fit into their
major/minor were they to continue studying at
their home institution. Students bring along
the course outlines for those courses. With the
Resident Director, students identify those
courses offered in Spain that meet the requirements that the identified home courses would
satisfy. Students can review Universidad de
Alcalá program offerings at its web site:
www.alcala.es.
Council participants are welcome to take
courses within the Universidad de Alcalá
offered for Spanish students pursuing the fiveyear Licenciatura degree. In fact, it is strongly
recommended that yearlong participants enroll
in at least one course in the University for the
second semester.
Council recommends students unable to enroll
in a University course for credit audit a course.
Permission to enroll in a regular course(s) is
granted by the Universidad de Alcalá’s Instituto de Estudios Norteamericanos de la Universidad de Alcalá and is based on the student’s academic background and performance
on the diagnostic test taken at the end of orientation. The final decision in each case rests
with the Institute.
Fall regular university courses end in February
and spring regular university courses end in
mid-July. There is a supplemental housing fee
for students who enroll in regular university
courses and must remain in Alcalá until the
end of final exams.
A student’s candidacy for regular courses is
then presented to the Institute. If approved,
Council faxes the course outline to the home
advisor for approval for credit. Council students are expected to complete all work in
regular courses as would a Spanish student.

If you have ever dreamed of castles in Spain,
Alicante, once the mightiest citadel of the
Kingdom of Valencia, is that dream come
true. The brooding Moorish castle of Santa
Barbara looms over this seaside city on the
Costa Blanca, Spain’s shining southeast
coast, an ever-present reminder of the city’s
ancient roots. Below the castle hill are the
narrow, winding streets of Santa Cruz, the
“old town,” and along the harbor, a jumping
off place for North Africa and Mallorca, runs
the palm-fringed Esplanada de España, wonderful for strolling, people watching, and
contemplation.

Resident Staff
The University of Alicante is one of Spain’s
newest universities. Established to serve the
higher education needs of the province of Alicante in the southeast of the Spanish Mediterranean Rim, the University has faculties of sciences, philosophy and letters, law, economics,
business, architecture, tourism, nursing, and education. The University of Alicante offers its
30,000 students the benefits of a modern campus
complete with Mediterranean-style buildings.
The office of the Council Study Center at Alicante
is located on the main campus in San Vicente in
the metropolitan area of Alicante. Courses are
held on the San Vicente campus as well.
Housing and meals are included in the program
fee. Students live in Spanish-speaking homes
with all meals taken at the place of residence.
Every effort is made to place participants in
homes where English is not spoken. Living in
Spanish homes is considered the best housing
arrangement for first semester students
because of its practicality and its contribution
to the program’s academic objectives. Only one
program participant is housed in each home.
Students participating in the academic year program may choose to live in apartments during
the second semester. Housing is located in the
Alicante metropolitan area with access to public transportation. All students take public
transportation to the University.
The philosophy of the resident staff is to provide academic leadership and support to beginning and intermediate-level students of Spanish
as a second language to allow students to focus
on academics and not be distracted by the
issues that arise from living abroad. To this end,
staff takes very seriously the supportive role
essential to an effective study abroad experience.
There are many artistic and cultural events
sponsored by the University, most of which are
free or offered at reduced rates for students.
These events are held in various venues on campus, including the modern, avant-garde art
museum/auditorium. A sports facility on the University campus offers a wide variety of activities, including swimming, dance, rock climbing,
scuba diving, weight lifting, aerobics, martial
arts, as well as intramural sports such as soccer,
football, and field hockey.

Is this the right program for you? This program is designed for students with no previous study of Spanish language through to students
who have completed two years of Spanish language course work, are
interested in furthering their language skills, and in learning about Spain
firsthand. This program is an ideal option for students who seek a study
abroad opportunity but who are not necessarily majoring in the language.
Program Goals The program goal for beginning language students is

goal for both levels allows participants to pursue studies in a variety of
0–4 semesters of college-level Spanish or
equivalent; overall GPA 2.75
academic disciplines focusing on Spain and Europe and from topics
such as women’s issues to environmental studies and from art history
to business courses. This goal is achieved through intensive language
course work and area studies courses in English and content courses in
Spanish, English

Academic Program
Established in 1985, the academic program in
Alicante encourages students to develop naturally the four skills of language acquisition:
listening, reading, speaking, and writing. Content and area studies courses provide students
the opportunity to learn about issues related
to Europe and Spain in such subjects as political science, women’s studies, human geography, business skills, and humanities in general
through graduated language-level sections.
Conceived for students of any major, the program balances language instruction with
experiential knowledge in the humanities and
social sciences.
University of Alicante Spain Semester & Academic Year
Students are required to enroll in three Spanish language courses and two content or area
studies courses for a total of 15 semester
credit hours.
Students are given a placement exam (written
and oral) in Alicante prior to the start of
classes to determine appropriate placement
for the language courses.
Academic Culture
Council language courses are scheduled Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. until 12:10 p.m.,
and content courses could run until 2:00 p.m. or
later. Students can expect daily homework
assignments. Teaching methods in Council
courses are a combination of lecture and participatory styles. Program professors are experienced in second-language teaching methodology, have several years teaching experience
in Spain and abroad, and are familiar with and
use a variety of teaching methods. Furthermore, they have been working with American,
European, and other foreign students for many
years and are familiar with the expectations of
foreign students. Nevertheless, it is important
to understand that the program takes place at
a Spanish university with Spanish professors.
Each professor distributes a detailed syllabus
indicating what material is covered, when
exams are held, and what is expected from
each student. Attendance is mandatory and
unexcused absences affect final grades.
The Council Study Center fall semester program
starts in early September with final exams the
week before Christmas. The spring semester
program begins in mid-January with final
exams given at the end of May. The University
of Alicante academic calendar does not coincide directly with the Council calendar. Classes
begin in mid-October and run through June.
Assessment
In the language classes, students are normally
graded on the basis of weekly quizzes, exams,
attendance, homework assignments, and class
participation. Grades in the content courses
are generally based on class participation, a
mid-term, papers, and a final exam. The exact
breakdown of grades is determined by the
individual professor.
University Business Courses in English
The University of Alicante has developed a
series of business courses given in English for
Spanish students, international students, and
Council Study Center participants. Program
participants are eligible to enroll in these
courses for credit. All these courses are taught
in English by members of the University. Students are also able to audit one course from
the regular offerings of the Universidad.
Conversational Exchange Program
A conversational exchange program (Intercambios) with native Spanish students at the University of Alicante is a compulsory part of the
language program. The program gives students the chance to put into everyday use
what they are learning in the language
courses, as well as helping them become more
integrated into regular student life.
Orientation
Housed in a local hotel in Alicante, the twoday orientation session at the beginning of the
program, introduces students to the country,
the culture, and the academic program, and
provides practical information about living in
Spain. It includes both structured cultural
activities and independent sightseeing. A
range of topics, including housing and family
life, cultural differences, academics and academic policies are covered. At the end of the
orientation, students meet their families and
then move into their home in Alicante to begin
their immersion and integration into Spanish
society. The formal orientation session seeks
to inform students of issues relevant to their
study experience and helps students make a
gradual transition to Spanish life. Orientation
is maintained on an individual basis throughout the program. Students always have access
to resident personnel throughout the program.

Spanish Grammar and Syntax (I, II, III)
The goal of this course is to enable students to
manipulate moods, tenses, syntax, and vocabulary with relative ease, and to end the course
with oral skills equivalent to those achieved by
most students after two years of college-level
Spanish study. Primary emphasis is placed on
oral and written proficiency through study of
applied structure. Students learn to create their
own syntactic structures in order to put the language to use, having learned the more complex
mechanisms of the sentence as the basic support for the expression of thoughts. The class is
given entirely in Spanish and meets one hour a
day, five days a week for 15 weeks. Sections of
this course are offered at the novice low
through intermediate high levels.

Manuel Palazón, Cristina Martín, María Fernández Herrero, and Natalia Navarro Albaladejo.
ALIC 1100
Spanish Conversational Skills (I, II, III)
The main goal of this course is to enable students to master daily communication skills
with confidence. Students learn the basic
phonology and phonetics of the language to be
able to function in conversations with native
speakers about current events, their own personal history, their experiences in Alicante,
and their impressions of Spanish culture.
They also become lexicologically proficient in
the language because of the nature of this culturally and linguistically immersed program.
The course is enhanced by simulated real-life
situations in and out of the classroom in controlled, semi-controlled, and free performances. Oral work is complemented by related
written exercises.
Students concentrate on the theory and practice of the Spanish phonetic system in its standard linguistic norm. The points of articulation
and the development of the vowel and consonant sounds and their combinations are
explained and explored in great detail. Practical exercises form the foundation of this
course in order to improve the diction of the
student. Sections of this course are offered at
the novice low through intermediate high
level. Textbook: Manual de Pronunciación

A Course in Reading and Writing (I, II, III)
This course takes a practical approach to
developing reading and writing skills in Spanish. The student, as a reader, is able to learn a
broad range of topics to inform him or her,
while provoking critical analysis of the readings in comparison to their own experiences as
observers and participants of Spanish life. As
a writer, the student has to actively use the
language to express opinions and reactions.
The course is designed to develop the student’s comprehension of all types of written
Spanish. Scholarly, journalistic, literary, technical, and slang usage in contemporary society
are studied. Students are required to produce
writing samples in each area. Sections of this
course are offered at the novice low through
intermediate high level.

qualified students may audit additional regular
university courses taught in Spanish. Students
may choose from the following options: 1.
Auditing a course in the area of the student’s
major which the student has already taken in
English at home. Given the student’s familiarity with the content of the course, the student
can concentrate on what is being said in Spanish. 2. Auditing a regular course that corresponds in content to one of the student’s program courses. In this way students enrich their
command of the material on which they are
examined. 3. Auditing a course taught by one
of the program instructors thus enabling the
participants to familiarize themselves with an
instructor’s voice and speech mannerisms.

Location
The romantic city of Seville has been home to
the dashing Don Juan, the ingenious barber of
Seville, and the tempestuous Carmen. Columbus sailed into town on its broad Guadalquivir
River on his return from the New World. Magellan and Vespucci started on their own voyages
of discovery from the Golden Tower that guards
the riverbank. The great Renaissance painters
Velásquez and Murillo were born here, and Ferdinand and Isabela ruled all of Spain from the
gilded royal apartments in the Alcazar Palace.
Seville, the capital of Andalucia was a last
foothold of the great Moorish empire that once
ruled the entire Iberian peninsula. Though the
city carefully preserves its past, modern Seville
is the commercial hub of Andalucia. The city’s
streets are crowded with visitors year round.
Seville offers an amazing choice of cultural
activities for a city of fewer than 700,000 people from flamenco theaters to classical, pop,
and jazz concerts. Life is lived in the outdoor
cafés, tapas bars, and vast array of restaurants
throughout the city.
Host Institution
Since its establishment in the 18th century, the
Universidad de Sevilla has been one of Spain’s
leading institutions of higher learning. Its Faculties of Philology, Geography and History, Philosophy, Law, Medicine, Natural Sciences, and
Engineering and its many schools and institutes, serve the educational needs of Spain’s
most populous region. In total, the Universidad
de Sevilla, at all its Seville locations, is the
educational center for some 90,000 students.
Evaluation
Program Reviews for this program can be found
at www.ciee.org/isp.
Orientation
The three-day orientation session (one-day for
the summer program), conducted in Seville at
the beginning of the program, introduces students to the country, the culture, the academic
program, and provides practical information
about living in Spain. It includes both structured activities and independent sightseeing.
Orientation is maintained on an individual basis
throughout the program.
The academic program is supplemented with
field trips and excursions to points of interest
in Seville and Spain. Field trips and visits highlight topics covered in class. Past excursions
have included: Granada, Córdoba, Carmona,
Itálica, and Ronda.
Housing and Meals
Housing and all meals are included in the program fee. Students live in Spanish-speaking
private homes or residencias (boarding houses
not dormitories). Meals are taken at the place
of residence, unless a specific dietary problem
makes it preferable or necessary to separate
housing and meals. Laundry privileges are
included in the program fee.
Every effort is made to place participants in homes
or residencias where English is not spoken and to
place only one student in each living situation.
Given Seville’s size, all students must use public
transportation to commute from their place of
residence to the University. Students who choose
to share an apartment with other Spanish students are able to do so provided they make their
own arrangements. The program does not allow
participants to move into an apartment with
other U.S. students since that defeats the purpose of participation in the program. Living in a
private home or residencia is considered the best
housing arrangement because of its practicality
and its contribution to the program’s objectives.

additional costs, are outlined below. Please

Established in 1985, the Language & Society
Program at the Escuela Superior de Ingenieros
of the Universidad de Sevilla is designed for
intermediate-level students of Spanish interested in rapidly improving their language skills
and acquiring an understanding of the Spanish
culture in its artistic, literary, historical, or
political framework. Although paramount
importance is given to linguistic achievement,
the students’ cultural experiences are not only
academic, but also enriched by their participation in field trips, community life, and volunteer work. This program provides excellent
preparation for students planning to work in
fields requiring a thorough knowledge of
Spanish language and culture.
Language & Society Program, Universidad de Sevilla, Seville Spain Semester
The Language & Society program is structured
so that students take one three semester hours
course intensively during their first three weeks
on site followed by the remainder of their
course work. During the 45 contact hour intensive intermediate language skills course students meet on a daily basis for three to four
hours with the professors who teach the
course. The Resident Director reserves the right
to require students to enroll in a specific language skills course during the remainder of the
program based on the results of this course.
During the spring semester, two vacation periods take place at the University: Semana
Santa and Feria de Abril. Although the dates
are not fixed, students are normally free the
week before Easter (Holy Week) and then
again for one week approximately two weeks
after Easter. Early departure for or late return
from vacations is not allowed. Extended travel
should take place prior to the start of the program, during the semester break, or upon completion of the program.
Assessment
For the remainder of the program, all students
are required to enroll in two additional language courses. The grammar and language
skills courses are divided into several sections
to accommodate different levels of language
proficiency. Results of the intensive language
course determine the most appropriate section
of each course for each student. Language and
grammar courses are divided into as many sections as necessary, so that the average number
of students in each class is 12.
Students are normally graded on the basis of
at least one mid-term and a final examination;
language courses normally have more than
two examinations and quizzes. Attendance is
mandatory and unexcused absences are
reflected in participant’s final grade. Class participation is paramount in most courses; some
courses require students to make special individual projects that they present to the class
at the end of the term.
ESI. Council participants are encouraged and
welcome to take part in all events organized at
the ESI, which greatly helps their integration
into Spanish university life.
Resident Staff
current Resident Director is Dr. Coro Malaxecheverría, formerly of North Carolina State
University and the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
Dr. Malaxecheverría is assisted at the ESI by
Luisa Rodríguez. Program participants are
assisted in the main Council office by Gary
Wooten, Administrative Director, and Nancy
Merchant, Housing and Medical Coordinator.
The Academic Director for all Council Programs in Spain is Dr. Jerry Johnson.
Intercambios
In addition to the language courses, students
take at least two content studies courses. The
texts for these courses are in Spanish with a
selected bibliography of English texts to complement Spanish reference materials. The
structure of these courses guarantees a high
academic level for students who, until completion of the semester, do not have sufficient
language skills to undertake the intellectual/
academic work in a foreign language. These
courses serve a dual purpose: to continue and
supplement students’ Spanish language development and to introduce students to a specific
aspect of Hispanic studies. The whole academic experience is enriched with numerous visits to artistic and cultural sites and events.
Meetings, workshops, and site visits take
place throughout the semester.
Academic Culture
The faculty of the Language & Society Program
is made up of a group of excellent professionals (from the Universidad de Sevilla and other
sources) who have been working with the program for a number of years. Many of them are
familiar with the U.S. academic system
through having taught in the States. Teaching
methods, of course, vary from teacher to
teacher, and it is of great value for the students to be exposed to different styles.
A conversational exchange program (Intercambios) with native Spanish students is an important part of the language program. The program gives students the chance to put into
action what they are learning in the language

may also become involved in international organizations such as Amnesty International.
Program Location
The Language & Society Program is housed in
the Escuela Superior de Ingenieros (ESI).
Located on Cartuja Island, about 15 minutes
from downtown Seville in the former grounds
of the 1992 World Exhibition, the Escuela
Superior de Ingenieros was the first branch of
the Universidad de Sevilla to establish itself in
this area, remodeling and inhabiting the former American Plaza building. As other schools
move into the area, the ESI is becoming the
core of a future Universidad de Sevilla campus. The facilities and space are without doubt
the best within the Universidad, with a threefloor library, computer and study rooms, a concert hall, and a large cafeteria. In addition to
international students it hosts about 5,000
Spanish students. The Language & Society

Spanish Conversation
Interaction in conversation is the test of fire in
which a student of Spanish as a second language has to stir up all of his/her learned linguistic resources. In this course, situations are
created in which the student integrates knowledge of grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation with all possible correctness and fluidity,
according to his/her level. The objective is to
expand the student’s communicative capacity.
Topics are taken from “real life” (advertisements in newspapers/media, on radio, TV, etc.)
to help the student by showing other possible
interpretations or ideas that stir up opinions in
the classroom. At the end of the course students should be able to: know speaking and listening conversational tactics, be familiar with
an intermediate-advanced level of vocabulary,
and reach an adequate level of pronunciation.

Spanish Grammar and Syntax
This course covers Spanish grammar at an
intermediate level with emphasis on problem
points of grammar and syntax. Students are
assigned to a particular section according to
their performance in the intensive language

reviewed, and then more complex usage is
examined. Emphasis is on oral proficiency.

Intensive Intermediate Spanish
The objective of this course is to improve the
student’s ability to understand written and oral
materials so as to be able to communicate
successfully in Spanish and face the regular
semester courses with confidence. Through
conversations, exercises, study of vocabulary
and expressions the course provides the students with the tools to further develop their
lexical and grammatical knowledge and to
enhance their linguistic skills.

Spanish Language Skills
The objective of this course is to make students familiar with the practice of the Spanish
language from a communicative and notional
point of view. The course concentrates on how
to express certain ideas according to the situation and the context, as much in speaking as
in writing. The students get closer to the current and daily usage of the language, to a
wider range of vocabulary, and to some of the
most important idioms.

Spanish Composition
This course leads students to a refinement of
Spanish language composition. Writing
assignments of a descriptive, narrative, and
expository nature force the writer into new
areas of expression. While the primary goal is
the improvement of syntax, issues of vocabulary, lexicology, morphology, and stylistics also
receive attention.

Spanish Phonetics
The subject of this course is the phonetic
structure of Spanish. Through readings which
serve as the basis for in-class drilling and
through conversation, attention is given to
improving pronunciation and to alerting students to the problems of phonetic interference
from English so they can correct their own pronunciation. No effort is made to change a
regional accent acquired from earlier studies
of Spanish, as Latin American or Peninsular
accents are considered perfectly acceptable.

The Spanish Seminar
This course examines the major forces that
shape contemporary Spanish society. Themes
such as the individual in society, the role of
women, the Church in society, government and
the individual, Spain’s role in Europe, and
U.S.–Spanish relations from a socio-cultural
point of view are some of the subjects covered
in class. The particular interests of the students
help to determine which topics are discussed.

Cross-Cultural Communication
This course analyses the different aspects of
communication between cultures, which is not
limited to linguistic competence. As contacts
and relations between people of different cultures increase at a very rapid pace, it becomes
necessary to understand and be able to work
with the differences and similarities of cultures in other aspects of daily life, such as
social, moral, and political values, the process
of socialization or even eating customs. The
objective of this course is the study of similarities and differences between Spanish and
U.S. cultures to gain a better appreciation and
understanding both at a collective, as well as
a personal level.

Spanish Civilization and Art
Students are acquainted with the cultural and
artistic development of Spain and its relationship to the Western world through the study of
Spanish art, architecture, sculpture, literature,
and music. This is carried out through lectures,
slide shows, and visits to monuments and
museums in Seville, Granada, Córdoba, and the
surrounding areas. (These visits take place during weekends and are an integral part of the
program.) Works of art are discussed in their
historical context, both in terms of their significance within a particular period and also within
the continuum of Spanish artistic development.

The Political History of Spain
Students are offered a panoramic view of the
history of Spain, with emphasis on contemporary historical events. Students follow the
political development from the turn of the
century to the present. Topics range from the
origins of political liberalism in Spain through
the confrontation between the two Spains,
Franco, the transition to democracy, and the
political environment of today. It is an ideal
background course for students of history or
political science.

Changing Roles of Spanish Women
The objective of this course is the study of how
Spanish women have faced different periods of
20th-century Spain, have adapted to changes,
and are increasingly visible in all aspects of
Spanish life. The course covers strong political
figures found during the pre-civil war, active
participants during the war, and women during
the long repressive period of the dictatorship.
Finally, the course examines the phenomenon
that is unique in the history of women in other
European countries: the need and desire to
fight for—and in many cases achieve—the
same rights as women in other countries in
only two decades. These very different periods
encountered by Spanish women are studied
through relevant figures, as well as in different
areas such as rural versus urban settings.

The Psychology of Learning a Second
Language
This course focuses on the motivational factors, personality traits, the degree of adaptation to a foreign language context, and other
psychological factors which influence second
language acquisition. Students acquire the
tools to identify the psychological aspects
which promote and sometimes impede the
learning of a foreign language. Topics
addressed include: anxiety, bilingual modalities, affective factors, as well as neuropsychological and cognitive aspects of learning a second language. In addition, students become
familiar with the most recent research in the
field. A good understanding of these psychological factors helps students meet the challenge that learning a second language presents. Prerequisite: students must have completed at least one course in psychology.

Academic Program
The Liberal Arts Program is designed to help
students achieve fluency in spoken and written Spanish while they take courses in a wide
variety of academic fields within the Spanish
university system. Established in 1971, the
program is offered in both the fall and spring
semester or for the academic year, and is
structured to meet the needs of the individual
student. Through constant and direct exposure
to the nation’s history, art, and contemporary
life (e.g., the family, school, university, government, church, and social institutions), the program provides an opportunity to experience
and understand Spanish society and its institutions firsthand. Future teachers of English as

a Second Language find courses in the English
Department that prepare them for teaching
English to native-speakers of Spanish. A fundamental principle of the program is to make
as full use as possible of the human and material resources in Seville and to help each participant build an active life in the community.
The Liberal Arts Program academic term is
structured so that students take one three
semester hours course intensively during their
first three weeks on site followed by the
remainder of their course work. This course,
required of all students, runs through September in the fall term and through January in the
spring term. These junior-senior level courses
involve 45 to 55 contact hours. Based on the
results of a language skills diagnostic examination students may be placed in a language
skills seminar.
Academic Culture
All courses meet two times a week for 90 minutes or three times per week for 45 minutes.
Classes are held Monday through Friday.
Instruction is usually in lecture style. On examinations, instructors expect to find evidence
that the student has gone on to further
develop the theme that was not fully
exhausted in class.
Council Seville is structured so that term papers
in Spanish can also serve as materials for composition skills. Staff is available to help individuals put their papers into proper Spanish, further developing student’s language skills.

Regular Universidad de Sevilla Courses
Students may enroll in Universidad de Sevilla
courses offered as part of the Spanish degree
program. The University offers semester and
yearlong courses. Fall semester courses begin
in early October and end in late January.
Spring only courses start in early February and
end in June. Yearlong courses begin in early
October and end in June. Students participating in the fall semester program only, may not
enroll in regular University courses unless they
are able to remain in Seville through the January exam period. Special examination periods
are not offered in regular University courses.
Students have the opportunity to work with
children as part-time language tutors. Students
have also participated in religious, social, and
political organizations. Council Seville makes
every effort to interest participants in outside
activities in which they can come into intense
contact with young Spaniards. This is the best
way to learn about Spain and to go home really
speaking the language.
Council encourages all students to enroll in at
least one regular course within the University
of Seville and strongly recommends that all
students participating in the academic year
program take at least one regular course during their second semester. The course should
be selected with care to insure that the student’s academic background is supportive of
the work to be undertaken.
Tutorials
Tutorials are offered for selected regular University courses each semester. Students
enrolled in courses that include tutorials meet
with the professor for additional hours each
week to receive assistance in understanding
the material covered in the lectures.
Teaching English as a Second

credit for the semester program is 15 semester/22.5 quarter hours. A full course load is
considered at least 15 semester/22.5 quarter
hours for the duration of the program. No more
than 9 semester hours of those credits can be
taken through Cursos para Extranjeros (SECE
courses.) If a student, for curricular reasons
needs to enroll in more than 9 semester hours
of credit through Cursos para Extranjeros then
they must enroll in at least 15 semester hours

Program Location
Located in the center of Seville, the University’s main building is bordered on three sides
by the vast María Luisa Park and the
Guadalquivir River. While it gives the appearance of being in a quiet residential area of
town, the University is only a few minutes
from the central shopping district and the student quarter. Seville is an urban university in a
city of about 700,000.
The University provides an excellent library for
students of Spanish language and literature.
For those interested in Spanish or Latin American history, the famous Archivo de Indias is
three blocks away. Here, the documents of
more than 500 years of colonial rule in America, Africa, and Asia are kept for use by scholars. Council maintains its own library for participants. In this collection most required and

Comparative Aspects of Literary
Communication
The comparative approach to literary analysis
allows students of one language to more fully
understand the commentary on approaches to
literary analysis in the works of a second language. Comparisons and contrasts are based
in part on works they fully understand from the
point of view of the language in which artistic
communication is achieved. For comparison
and contrastive purposes literary works are
paired, such as City of Glass by Paul Auster
with Ficciones by Jorge Luis Borges. Several
points of view are then analyzed, such as the
narrative pact, narrative strategies, the search
for analogies across language, and chronological barriers, in an effort to understand different modes of literary criticism and language
use for artistic purposes. Major attention is
given to major works of Spanish literature but
in every case an English-speaking author is
analyzed first. Spanish works students are
required to study include El Quijote, La
Regenta, Revindicaciones del Conde don
Julián, Rayuela, El collar de la paloma, Cántico espiritual, Las virtudes del pájaro solitario, El burlador de Sevilla, La vida es sueño
y Picnic. In order to control the reading, participants read excerpts of many works but in all
cases, instruction prepares them to move on
independently with a critical and analytical
approach to the works in question and others.
Prerequisite: for majors in Spanish or English
with at least one seminar-level course in an
aspect or author of the major.

one Council Study Center course (CSCS)
offered in the Liberal Arts program or one
course offered in Business & Society program
(SEBS) during Cycle II. CSCS courses are listed

University of Seville Course Offerings
As you outline a study plan, keep in mind the
following:
n The Spanish five-year degree aims at deep
concentration in a particular field. A major
may be 90 credits or more in one field.
n Since a Spanish student’s major is much more
specialized than in the United States, courses
in the fourth or fifth year of the major imply a
background in the field that the U.S. liberal
arts plan would never allow. The U.S. undergraduate, therefore, should be most careful
with choosing University of Seville courses
offered in the fourth or fifth year of the Spanish academic degree program.
47
n Spanish is used in fields that have a special,
professional vocabulary and in which real
language skill for reading, note taking, and
expression in written form are taken for
granted.
For course selection, Council suggests participants review with their academic advisor at
home what courses might fit into their
major/minor were they to continue studying at
their home institution. Participants should
bring along the course outlines for those
courses. Once at the University, participants
then identify those courses offered that meet
the requirements that the home courses satisfy. In Seville, Council carefully reviews the
study plans and, with the participant’s home
advisor, works out alternates if needed. Council faxes or e-mails the Seville course outline/syllabus to the home advisor quickly for
final credit approval.
University of Seville degree courses are open
to participants in the departments of: Philology, History and Geography, Art, Anthropology,
and Sociology. Some first year Law School
courses and Business Administration and Economics courses are also available. In particular
cases Council may secure admission for superior candidates in courses offered in the Science and Applied Arts faculties. In these
cases, sciences, applied arts or fields such as
mathematics, Council must secure a committment for that particular course prior to the participants arrival in Seville.
Courses are listed under department headings.
First semester, second semester, and yearlong
courses are listed. Please read through the
listings with care. Under each department
heading, advice is offered for selecting
courses. In the following listings all courses
are listed with their Spanish title and English
translation. In parenthesis is a number indicating in what year of the five-year Spanish major
a Spanish student would be taking that course.
Unless you are extremely advanced in your
major, please shy away from fourth and fifth
year courses as it is unlikely that you will have
the background upon which the instructor will
base his/her instruction.

Department of Latin American
Literature and Area Studies
Listed here are only those courses directly
related to the letters and studies of Hispanic
America. Spanish students who major in Latin
American literature take two years of Spanish
literature and language studies prior to starting the three-year concentration in Latin American studies. Participants should keep this in
mind as it means that the background of Spanish students in this department is such that
instructors assume a solid basis in Spanish literature. Courses that carry an asterisk have
been popular with participants in the past.

of Spain. For this reason, it would be unusual

Business & Society Program
DURATION
Five semesters of college-level Spanish or
equivalent; six semester credits
of economics (micro/macro), accounting,
finance, management, or statistics;
overall GPA 2.75
Is this the right program for you? This program is geared to serious business students who have an interest in learning about business
studies in an international context. Participants must have at least two
and one half years of Spanish language study and at least six-semester credits of economics, accounting, finance, management, or statistics, and an overall GPA of 2.75.
Program Goals The goals of the program are to provide students
with an understanding of Spain’s economy and business management
principles in the political and socio-cultural context within the European Union and to solidify participants language skills. These goals
are achieved through specialized course work in language, business
studies, related field visits, internships, a conversational exchange
program, housing options, and independent study options.

Academic Program
Program Highlights Wide range of course offerings; Universidad de
Sevilla courses; field trips; company visits; Internships.
Established in 1986, the Business & Society
Program at the Universidad de Sevilla is
designed for highly motivated students of
business with advanced-level Spanish language skills and an ability to meet the challenges of living and studying in a foreign environment. The program offers participants a
direct encounter with business studies in an
international context through a combination of
Spanish business, society, language course
work, and related field visits.
The program provides a unique study and living experience in Spain for undergraduates.
Through lectures and discussions, company

visits, close interaction with Spanish professionals, and residence with Spaniards, participants have an unparalleled opportunity to
examine Spain’s economy and business management in their political and socio-cultural
context within the European Union.
A fundamental principle of the program is to
make as full use as possible of the human and
material resources in Seville and to help each
participant build an active life in the community. Students are expected to speak Spanish
at all times—in class, at their place of residence, and with fellow students.
Academic Culture
Assessment
The program courses have been designed to
cover all aspects of business and economics in
Spain and Spain as part of the European Union.
The courses show students how business is
carried out in the country, how it differs from
U.S. business practices, and how it is conducted in relation to European and international
markets. The business courses are designed to
give participants a view of Spain’s financial
institutions, business operations, and economic
problems within the European context.
In most Council courses students are normally
graded on the basis of mid-term and final
examinations, papers, class attendance and
participation. In some Universidad de Sevilla
courses there may also be term papers, and in
others, an oral final exam with the professor or
only a written final exam. All examinations are
of the essay type. Multiple choice exams are
rarely given. Numerical grades are given
based on a ten-point scale.
Company Visits
The courses are not conceived to teach students the basics of business management. Stu-
The Business & Society Program academic
term is structured so that students take one
three semester hours course intensively during
their first three weeks on site followed by the
remainder of their course work. CSCS
1012/1013: Spanish for Business and Economics, required of all students, runs through September in the fall term and through January in
the spring term. This junior-senior level course
involves 45 to 55 contact hours.
During the remainder of the program participants enroll in courses from the program offerings in business, society, and Spanish language. At least two of the courses must be

dents enrolled in the program must have a solid
background in business administration, statistics, business math, and economics prior to
arrival. The School of Business and Economics
of the University of Seville strongly suggests
that participants have a solid background in
Spanish. The language level should permit an
understanding of spoken Spanish for taking
notes in fields where precision is essential.
SUBJECTS
Spanish language (advanced), business,
economics, society, internships
business courses from the SEBS offerings outlined below or courses given by the Facultad
de Ciencias Económica y Empresariales for
Spanish degree candidates. A listing of these
University of Seville courses can be found
below. Prior to departure from the United
States and in consultation with their home
advisor, students choose their courses from
among the offerings for the Business & Society Program.

During the spring, Semana Santa and Feria de
Abril take place. These are vacation periods at
the University. Although the dates are not
fixed, students can anticipate being free the

return from vacation is not allowed. Any
Major industries, banks, and branch offices of
foreign firms are among the wide variety of
Spanish business institutions that participants
visit.
These visits, which supplement the classroom
work, include small group interaction with
company officers, providing opportunities for
participants to ask questions and explore practical applications of theories discussed in
class. Students observe firsthand what class
instruction has reviewed in theory. Students
also visit a series of organizations and institutions that can make planning of strategic visits
abroad easier, more organized, and less costly.
For example, how can one use a Chamber of
Commerce, World Trade Center, the Department of Commerce, and consular and diplomatic posts for exploratory purposes before
leaving home? What value is the World Wide
Web in planning a business venture and how
does the World Wide Web offer resources for
such things as market analysis and updates on
commercial information of value in planning
and strategy?
Internships
Depending on the student’s language ability,
job skills, and background, placement in an
unpaid internship with a major company may
be possible. Final selection of the participant
for the internship is made by the firm.
In the past, students have interned for organizations such as Xerox, DHL, Banque Nationale
de Paris, Investandalucia, AT&T, American
Express, Sheraton Hotels, and Deloitte Touche.
Internships are designed to allow the participant
the opportunity to experience working alongside
Spaniards to understand other work attitudes,
approaches and different relationships between
persons in a non-American workplace. These
internships allow the participant opportunites to
evaluate his/her American attitudes and
approaches to situations and problems vis à vis
Business & Society Program, Universidad de Sevilla, Seville Spain Semester & Academic Year
those of foreign professionals in one field of
business or another. For the student planning a
career in international business, dealing with
people will be a vital element of success. Internships are normally not career oriented although
the student’s skills and talents will influence the
type of position sought.
The academic part of the Business & Society
Program is demanding, since participants tend
not to understand the nature of the learning
experience in Spain where greater independence and initiative in background investigation for in-class work is taken for granted.
Therefore, the internship generally takes place
during the last two months of the program.
Postponing the internship in this way allows
participants to be fully prepared for how an
internship reduces time for study and personal
activities.

y Empresariales (FCEE) of the Universidad de
Sevilla. The FCEE is housed in a contemporary
building located some 15 minutes from the central campus in downtown Seville. More than
7,000 students are enrolled at this complex.
Recommended credit for the program is 15
semester/22.5 quarter hours. A full course
load is considered 15 semester/22.5 quarter
hours. At least 6 semester credits must be
taken as SEBS courses.
Resident Director
Resident Director assists students with administrative and personal matters. The current
Resident Director is Dr. Jerry Johnson, Director

a regular Universidad de Sevilla course either
for credit or audit. If taking a course for credit,
participants should pick a course for which they
already have the necessary background. Students enrolled for the fall semester only, must
be prepared to stay in Seville for the exam
period in January. Participants may also take a
regular Universidad de Sevilla offering that they
have already studied at home only for the experience, not for credit. In this way, besides experiencing different approaches and attitudes to
questions, the participant meets future professionals in his/her area of prime interest in international business. In addition, students may
audit as background to an independent study
project being carried out in SEBS 1030 for credit.

Academic Program
The Council Study Center in Seville offers particpants unique summer study options. Students may combine courses from the Intensive
Language track with courses from either the
Art and Restoration track or the Politics and
Economics track. Read the descriptions carefully to insure that you understand what the
courses entail. Spanish is not necessary for
some courses.
Established in 1996, the Art and Restoration
track began at a fitting time as more urban
areas struggle with questions of how to best
preserve and maintain their artistic heritage in
its cultural context, and how to grow with the
Escuela de Artes Aplicadas & Universidad de Sevilla, Seville Spain Summer
future. The city of Seville, with over 2,500
years of history, offers an excellent opportunity to learn how one city approaches these
questions. In this seven-week summer program, students observe, and then actively
practice, the techniques and skills used in the
preservation and restoration of art.

in and around Seville are essential components of the program. During these visits, program participants meet experts who work in
all facets of art-museum management, display,
restoration, acquisition, and architectural
innovations for the purpose of building utilization, and also meet city officials who legislate
on adapting the life of a city around its artistic
heritage.

Art Restoration: Painting and Ceramics
and
SESU 1012
Art Restoration: Sculpture
These introductory courses initiate students
into the techniques, tools, and materials used
in the restoration of painting, sculpture, and
ceramics. Each course is taught in the classrooms and laboratory of the Escuela de Artes
Aplicadas and is heavily oriented towards
hands-on activities rather than readings or lectures about the difficulties of art restoration.
The objective is for participants to gain the
basic skills in the restoration and preservation
of works of art. Participants visit sites where
professionals in the field perform the activities
practiced in class. Instruction is strongly
directed toward “seeing and then doing.” First
the instructor demonstrates the activity for the
participants; then the instructor moves students into the laboratory where they undertake the same task. All through this two-stage
process, translators are on hand to facilitate
communication between students and the
instructors. Readings are given in English.
Council offers two options for this course:
SESU 1013 specializes in the area of restoring

for replacement or substitution of damaged
portions of the work (restoration); preservation
of the support elements for restoration and/or
conservation; materials that the nature of the
work obligate the restorer/conservationist to
employ; an understanding of the work of art’s
purpose in the eye of the artist; and how
restoration and/or conservation lend themselves to that original purpose.

SESU 1011
Art History
This course introduces participants to the appreciation of the European city as an artistic patrimony and reservoir of centuries of art, making
restoration a necessary field of professional
activity in urban areas of Europe. Seville, with
more than 2,500 years of history in its architecture and art, gives endless examples of restoration in progress. For this reason, the course concentrates on visits to Seville’s monuments, artistic workshops, restoration sites, and talleres,
workshops that specialize in the different fields
of restoration. In the process, participants come
to appreciate Seville as a monument itself that
gives birth and reason to art restoration. In addition, participants come to understand how to
visit a centuries-old city as a learned tourist, giving added depth and meaning to their future
travels. The course is taught in English. On visits and field trips, translators are provided if nec-

words and an understanding of the reality of
vocabulary acquisition for the English speaker.
Instruction also greatly aids native-speakers of
Spanish who tend to abuse Anglicisms in their
speech. Individual work is organized for each
participant or group depending on existent
familiarity with the Spanish language. The
