Teaching
Method Used By Our Spanish Language School
The teaching method used by the Spanish language
school is based upon the communicative approach to teaching Spanish.
Special emphasis is placed on conversation, so that the Spanish
language students can make themselves understood in Spanish right
from the start. The Spanish language school thinks it is essential
for the Spanish students to actively participate in the lessons;
to achieve this main goal, grammar exercices and vocabulary work
are combined with oral practice and pronunciation drills: group
work, discussions, role playing, literary and journalistic texts,
audio and video recordings of real material.
Some Spanish lessons are held out of the Spanish
language school, so that the Spanish students can face real situations:
at the market, at the travel agency, etc.
The Spanish Language Teachers
All of the Spanish language teachers are native
speakers of Spanish who have finished their university education.
With a great deal of experience in teaching Spanish as a foreign
language, they can use a variety of teaching methods and materials,
always according to the Spanish student´s needs.
Many of the Spanish language teachers speak several
languages and have teaching experience in other countries. Therefore,
they perfectly understand the difficulties of learning a foreign
language. The Spanish language teachers not only teach Spanish,
but they can also give the student valuable advice for further
Spanish study after completing the course.
