The Small Group Immersion Program is the most popular program because of it's dynamics and economics. The main objective of the Small Group Immersion Program is to develop both verbal communication and critical listening skills.

A variety of interactive and hands-on methods are used to cultivate motivation, self-confidence and enjoyment. Success is measured by the student’s ability to complete the communication loop in Spanish.

Class instruction is limited to a maximum of five students. The small group size assures individual participation and allows for personal attention from the instructor.

There are twelve different levels of coursework accommodating everyone from an absolute beginner to a Spanish teacher needing a refresher course. Classes at the various proficiency levels run concurrently.

Proficiency levels are determined both by oral interview and by written exercises. Students tend to be placed in groups based more on their ability to communicate than by the results of the written exercises.

Classes meet Monday through Friday throughout the year from 8:30AM until 2:30 PM.

The first four hours of each day is the core curriculum period. This period consists mainly of exercises and drills focusing on aural comprehension and oral expression. In the afternoon, students change instructors for a two-hour activity period. Dictionaries, verb books and note books are put to the side. Students engage in role playing, songs, board games, presentations and numerous other activities that promote using Spanish to communicate. Special topics and activities are organized around the needs, interests and proficiency levels of the group.

Each Thursday, in lieu of the afternoon activity, an off-campus excursion to a point of interest in Ensenada is coordinated. The excursion is optional. There are typically nominal admission fees to enter some museums and for some tours. These fees are are NOT PART OF THE TUITION. Students should budget accordingly.

Students in the Small Group Immersion Program can study for as short a time as a single week or take courses for 5 and 10 weeks at discount rates. The Baja California Language College is flexible in accommodating your busy schedule.

“As a retiree, I can look back and see the role that Baja California Language College has played in my life. While working, the language courses gave me the ability to work directly with Spanish speaking employees. That ability and the appreciation I gained of the desire of immigrants to learn English, gave me my retirement goal - to teach English to Spanish speakers. The ability to do that has been enhanced by the language skill gained at Baja California Language College.”
