Το IIC, που ιδρύθηκε το 1994, είναι το Ισπανικό Τμήμα του Γερμανικού-Δομινικανικού Ινστιτούτου Γλωσσολογίας & Πολιτισμού EDASE. Με ένα σχολείο στο Santo Domingo και ένα στο Sosua IIC προσφέρει στους φοιτητές του τη μεγάλη δυνατότητα να συνδυάσουν τις ισπανικές σπουδές τους και να ανακαλύψουν τη χώρα με την υπέροχη ποικιλομορφία της.
Το Ινστιτούτο προσφέρει μίνι-ομαδικά μαθήματα και εξατομικευμένες ιδιωτικές μαθήματα όλο το χρόνο με έμπειρους ισπανικούς δασκάλους με υψηλά προσόντα και εμπειρία. Τα εντατικά μαθήματα IIC είναι διαπιστευμένα στη Γερμανία για εκπαιδευτική άδεια (Bildungsurlaub). Εκπαιδευτικά μαθήματα για τις εξετάσεις DELE, εξειδικευμένα προγράμματα Ισπανικών Επιχειρήσεων καθώς και προγράμματα ομαδικών υπηρεσιών είναι διαθέσιμα. Ειδικά μαθήματα συνδυάζουν ισπανικά μαθήματα με δραστηριότητες αναψυχής όπως καταδύσεις, wind / kite surfing ή χορό.
Το σχολικό κτίριο, που προστατεύεται από εντυπωσιακά παλιά δέντρα και πλούσια βλάστηση, προσφέρει την ιδανική ατμόσφαιρα για συμπυκνωμένη μάθηση σε ένα τροπικό περιβάλλον. Παρά την κεντρική του θέση, η ατμόσφαιρα γύρω από το σχολείο είναι τόσο ήρεμη που τα μαθήματα συχνά λαμβάνουν χώρα σε μία από τις τέσσερις σκιερές και ευάερες εξωτερικές βεράντες.
Οι αίθουσες διδασκαλίας είναι εξοπλισμένες σε απλό, καραϊβικό στιλ. Οι άνετοι καναπέδες στον κήπο, το πινγκ-πονγκ, τα παιχνίδια και μια μικρή συλλογή από ελαφριά ανάγνωση θα χρησιμοποιηθούν από όλους τους μαθητές.
Εκείνοι που φέρνουν ένα φορητό υπολογιστή με ασύρματη κάρτα LAN ή έξυπνο τηλέφωνο μπορούν να χρησιμοποιήσουν την ασύρματη πρόσβαση μας όλο το εικοσιτετράωρο.
Ο κήπος, οι βεράντες του και η κοινόχρηστη κουζίνα με ανοιχτές πόρτες δημιουργούν ένα προσωπικό και φιλικό περιβάλλον ιδανικό για χαλάρωση και ανταλλαγή εμπειριών. Χρησιμεύουν ως χώροι συνάντησης για τους μαθητές που μαθαίνουν Ισπανικά και Δομινικανούς φοιτητές του Casa Goethe που μαθαίνουν γερμανικά ή αγγλικά στο ίδιο κτίριο επίσης.
Η εθνικότητα και η ηλικία στην Instituto Intercultural del Caribe (IIC) ποικίλλει σε διαφορετικές χρονικές περιόδους, κύκλους σπουδών, και επιπέδων. Κατά τη διάρκεια του έτους, η μέση ηλικία είνα ι35. Το καλοκαίρι, η μέση ηλικία είναι 28.
IIC Spanish School έχει σπουδαστές από όλο τον κόσμο, συμπεριλαμβανομένων:
Το Ινστιτούτο Sosua βρίσκεται στην περιοχή El Batey, σε απόσταση αναπνοής από το κέντρο της πόλης και μόλις 5 λεπτά με τα πόδια από την κεντρική παραλία.
Εάν η χαλάρωση, ο αθλητισμός και η φύση είναι τα πρωταρχικά σας συμφέροντα, εκτός από την εκμάθηση ισπανικών, τότε το Sosua είναι το κατάλληλο μέρος για εσάς.
Αυτή η μικρή πόλη στη βόρεια ακτή της Δομινικανής Δημοκρατίας προσφέρει μια ευρεία ποικιλία δραστηριοτήτων αναψυχής, όπως και κοντά στο Cabarete, το οποίο απέχει μόλις 15 λεπτά.
Παρόλο που το Sosua προσελκύει κυρίως δύτες, το Cabarete είναι γνωστό ως ένα από τα καλύτερα σημεία του Kite boarding και windsurfing στον κόσμο. Υπάρχει επίσης ένα μεγάλο κύμα surf μεταξύ των δύο πόλεων στο Playa Encuentro.
Τη νύχτα οι Δομινικανοί, οι surfers και οι τουρίστες ανακατεύονται σε ένα από τα πολυάριθμα καφέ, τα beach bars, τα εστιατόρια και τις ντίσκο σε Sosua ή Cabarete, απολαμβάνουν να συνομιλούν, να χορεύουν και να παρευρεθούν μαζί.

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.
