I'm finishing up my Masters in Teaching Spanish though Southern Oregon
University. Its a program that takes 3 summers, and the classes take
place in Guanajuato, Mexico. There is 1 online class, but other than
that, everything is during the summe in Mexicor. I HIGHLY recommend the
program- I've had fantastic home stays, great professors and very
applicable courses. (All the courses are paired, with the partner course
being the teaching component. For example: Mexican Culture & Teaching
Culture, or Bilingualism in the US & Teaching Heritage Speakers) Here's
the website or send me an email if you've got questions!
