ACTFL has scholarships for teachers of French, Spanish, and Greek to participate in short-term, summer language study programs. For Spanish teachers, there were five full scholarships awarded this summer and I received the Tía Tula Colegio Scholarship for one week of Spanish teacher training and language study in Salamanca, Spain.
However, since the professional development program only lasted one week, I also did some solo traveling in the north of Spain prior to the start of the program. During this time, I stayed with old friends, met new ones, and even engaged in some ethnographic observation, and my ICC developed through all of this.
