Methodology
In our language classes small size groups and a dynamic approach to learning ensure frequent practice and interaction.
CEGRÍ supplies books for each course, designed specifically for students of Spanish as a foreign language. We also work with films and texts from Spanish newspapers and magazines.
CEGRÍ’s approach enables students to reach a higher level of competence in contemporary spoken Spanish at a steady pace, taking into account the interests and needs of each individual student. At CEGRÍ we help students acquire foreign language competence as soon as possible.
The structure of the program will give students enough time to develop communication skills, while grammar, written exercises, pronunciation, culture, and vocabulary will also be important components of classes. CEGRÍ applies a pragmatic, student-focused, communicative, and intercultural approach to language and culture teaching.
CEGRI is a member of…
ASELE (Association for the Teaching of Spanish as a Foreign Language).
NAFSA (American Association of International Educators).
The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign holds Spring, Summer, Fall and Academic Year Programs at CEGRI.

Granada
The allure of a town where East meets West, North meets South.
Granada, population: 300,000, is a very lively University town with over 60,000 students from all over Spain and a variety of other countries.
In Southern Spain, at the foot of the breathtaking Sierra Nevada mountains, Granada is known world-wide for the Alhambra Palaces, however, there is much more to see: the Palace of Charles V, St. Jerome’s, The Royal Chapel, the Cathedral, the Chartreusse or the Madraza Palace (where one of the oldest Islamic universities on European soil once stood).
Here in Granada we enjoy a continental climate with a long warm season, lasting from May until the end of October.
The fusion of Eastern and Western cultures in Granada provides the city with a unique beauty.
Granada also boasts several famous international Dance, Music, Flamenco,Theater, Jazz and Tango Festivals every year.
The daily life in the old part of town takes place in small shops and bars, open-air markets and squares shaded by trees.
Spain’s world-renowned poet Federico García Lorca describes his hometown as a place with plenty of time to relax and people who are honest, sensitive and passionate.
Through the town of Granada, CEGRÍ provides the strong socio-cultural background that is necessary for a full foreign language immersion.
