Online Spanish Class for Educators

Working Spanish Online still has a few openings left for the Summer!

Are you a Teacher, Faculty Member or Administrator struggling to
communicate with Spanish speakers in your school or place of work?

WorkingSpanish for Educators, produced by the Center for
International Business Education and Research (CIBER) at UNC's Kenan-
Flagler Business School, is designed to enable teachers,
administrators, and other school personnel to learn enough Spanish to
communicate with Hispanic students and their families.

This course is offered through weekly one hour and 15 minute ONLINE
workshops. Students are also required to attend a one hour
conversation session per week, which is offered online or in-person
depending on the student's location. The course is intended for true
beginners or people with little functional knowledge of the language.

This course is offered as a non-credit course through KFBS at UNC – Chapel Hill.
CEUs are available. The cost of each Level is $300.00 dllrs., including materials.

times of the day, use appropriate forms of address, introduce
themselves and others formally and informally, engage in small talk by forming questions,

Unit 2 – At School: At the end of this unit participants should be
