The Instituto Franklin-UAH Teach and Learn program is designed for native English-speaking students to receive training in the educational field while applying what they are learning in schools within the region of Madrid. Through this course, Teach and Learn students will be able to better grasp key aspects of the Spanish culture before beginning the program. Students will be better prepared for intercultural communication and “culture shock” resulting in more effective teachers and students. This curriculum is designed based on a need to provide students at Instituto Franklin-UAH with resources specifically on Spanish culture and life skills inside, and outside of the classroom. This is an in-class course which will be completed before the Teach and Learn students begin orientation and will provide topic-specific resources available to them throughout their experience in Spain.
