IIC, grundlagt i 1994, er det spanske Institut for tysk-dominikanske sprog kultur institut EDASE. Med en skole i Santo Domingo og en i Sosua, tilbyder IIC sine elever stor mulighed for at kombinere deres spanske studier og til at opdage landet i sin pragtfulde mangfoldighed.
Institutet tilbyder mini gruppekursus og skræddersyede private klasser året rundt med højt kvalificerede og erfarne spanske lærere. IIC intensive kurser er godkendt i Tyskland til pædagogisk orlov (Bildungsurlaub). Forberedelse kurser til DELE eksamen, specialiserede business spanske programmer samt full-service gruppe-programmer er tilgængelige. Særlige kurser kombinerer spanskundervisning med fritidsaktiviteter som dykning, vind/kite surfing eller dans.
Skolebygningen, i læ af imponerende gamle træer og frodig vegetation, tilbyder den ideelle stemning for koncentreret læring i tropiske omgivelser. Trods sin centrale beliggenhed er stemningen omkring skolen så rolig, at klasser ofte foregår på et af de fire skygget og luftige terrasse udenfor.
Klasseværelserne er udstyret i en enkel, caribisk stil. Hyggelige liggestole i haven, bordtennis, spil og en lille samling af lys læsning der skal bruges af alle elever.
Dem, som bringe en bærbar computer med trådløst LAN-kort eller en smart telefon kan bruge vores wifi adgang døgnet rundt.
Haven, terrasser og en åben-dør fælleskøkken oprette en personlig og venlig miljø, ideel til afslapning og udveksling af erfaringer. De tjener som mødesteder for de studerende at lære spansk og de Dominikanske studerende af Casa Goethe, der lærer tysk eller engelsk i den samme bygning som godt.
Nationalitet- og aldersblandingen på Instituto Intercultural del Caribe (IIC) varierer over forskellige tidsperioder, kurser og niveauer. Gennem året, er den gennemsnitlige alder 35. Om sommeren er den gennemsnitlige alder 28.
IIC Spanish School har studenter fra hele verden, inklusiv:
Institut i Sosua er beliggende i El Batey-kvarteret inden for et stenkast fra byens centrum og blot 5 minutters gang fra den vigtigste strand.
Hvis afslapning, sport og natur er din primære interesser, udover at lære spansk, så er Sosua det rigtige sted for dig.
Denne lille by på den Dominikanske Republiks nordkyst tilbyder en bred vifte af fritidsaktiviteter, og så nær ved Cabarete, som ligger kun 15 minutter væk.
Mens Sosua tiltrækker primært dykkere, så er Cabarete kendt som en af bedste kite boarding og windsurfing steder i verden. Der er også en stor surf bølge mellem de to byer på Playa Encuentro.
Om natten blandes dominikanerne, surfere og turister sig i en af de mange caféer, strandbarer, restauranter og diskoteker i Sosua eller Cabarete, samt at de nyder underholdning, dans og fester sammen.

I had 2 weeks of private Spanish classes.
The school is close to the center of Sosua and its beach. But it is in opposite to Sosua an island of relaxation. The staff was always very friendly, offered coffee and were ready for a small chat.
My teacher was great and I could always demand what I wanted to learn that day.
I coming back again!
Thanks a lot!
The mandatory pretest to determine ability level was ignored. Teacher told me it didn't measure anything and had me do another test of hers and determined me at a very low level and taught me as such. My level determined by the school's pre-evaluation test had been B1/B2. She was teaching me basic information I already knew, such as conjugating verbs in the present and preterite, and teaching me about pronouns.
The speaking domain was significantly ignored. The teacher spoke the most. After four weeks I received a certificate for level C1, which would be a miracle for the most intelligent person. How was the growth to C1 measured when there was not an exit exam? I did not receive what I paid for, nor what I expected. But, I made the best out of the situation.
Add-on Sept2021: The student is continuing to study Spanish with us online to this day. She passed her exam.
RE Feb2019: Thank you for taking the time to share your impressions and providing your review. We appreciate it and we are very sorry that you have been discontent with your class at our school. Indeed, your pretest did not measure your level adequately and we are sorry for the inconvenience. Since we had been informed that you are on C2-level, we had sent out our advanced test; though when receiving your test last minute the Friday before your course start, we, together with your teacher, then considered it more appropriate to ask you to take our other pretest on a more adequate level on site. Accordingly, along our level system (we work along the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages CEFR), your proficiency level was then determined as completed B1/ entering B2-level, showing selectively already skills and knowledge of B2-level (sic! repetitions of subjunctive present and imperfect as part of your course content).
Regarding the certificate: Towards the end of your program, you started working on course content and materials of the C1-level which, considering your total amount of 120 lessons of class and following our course curriculum, places you on a (starting) C1-level. Our certificates for regular courses are certificates of participation, stating the highest course level a student has been working on along the CEFR, though not stating that a student has completed a certain level. This, of course, would require oral and written testing at the end of class, which we do only on request, e.g. for academic credits, demanding an official transcript.
We are very sorry that you, in the end, felt unprepared for passing an exam you obviously intended to take back home. We would have loved to serve you better. As explained to your agency prior to your booking, we do only DELE exam preparations; these follow a completely different curriculum and testing method, and are available in private tuition only. We do not prepare for other national nor international Spanish exams, in particular not in open group classes as in your course. Though, if we can support you in the further enhancement of your conversational skills, we are still gladly offering you the possibility to continue working with our professional, native-speaking teachers in online skype conversations.
The classes and teachers were phenomenal! Super engaging and kind. Location was spot on- perfect. Walking distance from the beach, restaurants, grocery shopping, and public transportation.
The facilities were decent but could use some upgrading if possible.
The activities were fabulous and very enjoyable. The housing was livable but could also use updating. (Mentioned bed in other message.
Muchas gracias - thank you very much for your review. We are glad to have had you, happy that you loved your class and our location, and appreciative for your feedback on areas of improvement which we work on. Hope to see you again soon!
I started out in a group of three people and then went to a private class.
The staff is very nice and accommodating and the excursions that are offered to us are fun.
I don't regret my money what so ever and I'd recommend this school to anyone.
¡Muchas gracias! Thank you very much for your kind review and are glad that you enjoy being with us - as we enjoy having you!
I had an exellent time here. I did not stay at the apartmens here, but they are really nice. I travelled alone, and met alot of new, interesting people at school. They arrange many excursions which you can choose to participate. This was at great help to see and enjoy nice attractions and places in the area. You can also ask if there's something you would like to do or see, and they will help you.
The school is situated in a beautiful area in Sosúa. I had classes outdoors, with a beautiful view over the green garden.
The classes were simply great. I had a highly qualified teacher for two weeks. He is very professional, with a great sense of humour and a great personality. He quickly evaluates your level of Spanish, and keeps doing so during your classes to adapt his classes for you to learn the best way possible. He uses a big repertoire of pedagogic tools/activities to make variations in class and for you to practice and learn in different ways. The most interesting part for me where the times when we just talked and discussed topics that came up, and new impressions of the Dominican culture - this was a great way to learn more about the country and the people as well as the Spanish language.
I highly recommend this school!
¡Muchísimas gracias! Thank you for taking the time to post your review. We enjoyed having you here with us very, very much and hope to see you again!
Teaching was intense and still fun. School totally took care us--from hotel accommodations to excursions to see the country including seeing whales in Samana! There was great camaraderie among the students from many different countries. In class, our assignments and homework were to write about
ourselves, our country's food, holidays etc. We really wanted to share ourselves and learn about the other students.
It was not boring at all! I learned a lot of Spanish. There was nothing I didn't like and I plan on going back next year.
¡Muchas gracias! It was great having you and you made such great progress in your Spanish language skills! Hope to see you again. Muchos saludos cordiales de todos aqui de tu familia dominicana de la Casa Goethe/ IIC Spanish School
Great classes, teacher and location. N/A activities and housing

IIC is located in the perfect area of Sosua. It is very convenient to the airport in Puerto Plata, local beaches along with the beaches in nearby cities, shopping and restaurants, and different types of transit services. The grounds are very nice and are in the local architectural style of the Republíca Dominicana. The housing is fair but could use updating and some repairs.
The administration, although extremely nice and helpful, could do a much better job in providing necessary information regarding local services at the very beginning, making certain that fixtures and equipment are working properly, and having more choices of low to moderate priced activities planned.
I liked both of my professors who were well-qualified. My 2nd professor, Sheilla, was amazing. She used a variety of teaching styles to meet the needs of everyone. Although I ended up being very pleased with Sheilla, I felt that my first week with a different teacher with a very different style of teaching was not very beneficial which made me feel like I did not get a full 3 weeks of studies. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5. I also think that I would have enjoyed learning w/ a more diverse group but overall the other students were nice. Also, I made some wonderful friendships which I am sure will last a lifetime and we will continue to help each other with Spanish.
Overall, I enjoyed IIC, and I am very happy with my Spanish Immersion experience with them.
Thanks much.
Hola Angela, thank you so very much for taking the time to give us your feedback also in this review. We are glad that you enjoyed your program with us at IIC and we appreciate your suggestions. This will help us to further improve our services, e.g. as we now provide information on the leisure program and possible independent activities through different channels on site. Infrastructure still is a challenge in our country, but it is improving as well step by step. We truly enjoyed having you here with us and hope to welcome you again soon. Saludos cordiales from the whole IIC/Casa Goethe team - ¡hasta luego!
I really enjoyed my stay there. Had a great time. My teacher was just brilliant, a lovely nice person, including teaching skills and really fitted into this work. The school's student adviser was also very nice and helpful in some orientation and other stuff. Classrooms were okay, the furnishing was a little bad, just plastic chairs, etc. The location and facilities overall were very good and clean. And it's really a beautiful place! That's it.
