Teaching Methods
We want to fit your individual learning needs by using different teaching methods. The objective is not only that you have a good understanding of grammar, but also that you know how to use it while writing speaki
ng and reading.
- Speaking: A very important objective of the lessons is that you use the grammar learned to have conversations in the streets. Teachers will use materials, roll plays and activities to make you talk about different subjects, using all the grammar you've had before.
- Reading: You get to read articles, literature, fairy tales, and more... out loud. This will improve your pronunciation and you will learn new vocabulary. These reading texts are also used to open up discussions.
- Listening: To improve your listening skills, you get to listen to songs filling in missing words, recorded fairy tales or videostapes. All these materials are used to practice different grammar subjects. Like reading texts, you learn new vocabulary and discus the recordings later.
- Writing: Your writing skills are tested while making exercises in class, writing short stories or making homework.
- Grammar: Grammar is taught in an interactive way. The teachers will test your understanding constantly by asking examples from you. Sometimes teachers make you discover the grammar rules by yourself using short stories or video.
- Testing: Teachers will test your speaking, reading, listening and writing level constantly in class by practicing it with you. You can also ask for a test after a period of time to measure your improvements.
Group lessons
Group lessons are a mixture between all aspects of a language; you'll get some grammar and practice your writing, reading, speaking and listening skills. They are 4 hours a day from Monday until Friday with a maximum of 4 students, who have the same level of proficiency in Spanish. The teachers use different teaching methods such as audio – visual materials, games, etc. For beginners that can study 2 or more weeks, this is a good option.
Individual lessons
If you feel that there is a big difference between your oral and your grammar level, then we suggest you take individual lessons, also for beginners who have less then 2 weeks available to study. You can then focus on the areas you need to improve. You can study for 2 to 6 hours a day. Individual lessons can start every day, except Sunday. You can change between group and individual lessons every week.
