 Lacunza
is part of the prestigious international organization known as
International House. Members of this organization use the "Communicative
Method" as the foundation for the teaching of languages.
This method involves using the students' opinions, feelings and
experiences as a resource in the classroom to personalize the
language being introduced or practiced. Lacunza encourages pair
and group work to help the students to get more practice. This
method also requires that each teacher spend time listening to
each student and providing a high level of personalized attention
to each participant.
 Using
the "Communicative Method" does not mean that Lacunza
ignores thestructures and the grammar of the language. Each morning
students will learn and practice new structures as well as extending
their skills abilities and increasing and activating their vocabulary.
So what is the difference? Well to sum it up - Lacunza makes learning
interesting, challenging and fun! Using a wide variety of simulations,
role-playing, discussions and language games the school keeps
students motivated by keeping them stimulated, and making sure
that they practice real skills in preparation for real life situations.
 General
Spanish classes at Lacunza are available throughout the year and
students may enroll at any time. You have the choice of taking
group classes, a combination of group and private classes, or
strictly private classes. Classes range from beginners to advanced.
The average class size is eight and the maximum is twelve allowing
each student to get plenty of individual attention to make maximum
progress. Private classes are available throughout the year, and
the school also offers "Mini group" classes during the
summer months.
