Learning new language has never been
so easy or fun
MURFREESBORO,
Tenn. — MTSU is again offering a breakthrough learning experience during
the university’s spring break with its accelerated language program that will
get participants excited and confident about speaking Spanish.
Registration
is open for the five-day program, which will run from 6-9 p.m. March 6-10 at
the Paul W. Martin Sr. Honors Building. A searchable campus parking map is
available at http://tinyurl.com/MTSUParkingMap.
The
course is offered by the Center for Accelerated Language Acquisition at
MTSU. CALA Spanish instructor Brian Roberts said that the course
structure is based on brain research to give learners a special interactive
experience that results in accelerated knowledge of the language.
“The
course aims to develop conversational abilities in a fun, low-stress classroom,
and you will use movement, songs, games and stories to acquire the language
naturally,” Roberts said.
“CALA
courses develop participants’ abilities in some of the most commonly used
communicative tools. At the end of the course, participants are able to
recognize the rhythm of the language and are capable of producing enough
language to compose basic communicative needs in Spanish.”
One
student who took the course last semester shared this feedback with course
organizers: “What I liked most was the laughter and high energy through
storytelling. Everyone seemed to build off each other, and we were all excited
about learning, which got me excited.”
Discounts
are available for MTSU students, alumni, faculty and staff. To register or for
