What to expect

Maximum Exposure to Real Spanish

The course offers a combination of intensive classroom instruction and Spanish immersion to ensure students will learn the language both quickly and effectively.

Our proven formula for teaching Spanish within an immersion context allows students to learn Spanish naturally and enables them to communicate effectively using correct and up-to-date Spanish that is used everyday by native speakers. The lessons combine complete Spanish immersion with reading, writing, grammar, and speaking exercises so that students can develop the confidence needed to put their new language skills into practice in everyday situations.

Small Teacher-Student Ratio

We believe that students learn better when they feel confident and comfortable, which is why we offer small group classes, with an average of about five to six students. Our small classes allow for more personalized attention from the professor in a relaxed and comfortable environment which enables students to feel confident when talking in Spanish. Teachers provide individual care and focus on each student's personal progress by offering helpful instruction, giving feedback and correcting errors.

Development of the Four Key Language Skills

Students will be encouraged to develop the four key language skills:

Speaking
Writing
Reading
Listening

Approaching Spanish grammar through these skills is the most complete way to gain proficiency in the Spanish language. This integral approach to Spanish learning will allow students to not only learn formal and correct grammar, but also to practice the correct forms and become familiar with them through usage rather than memorization.

Real-life Materials

Our teachers know how to create quality lesson plans that are both informative and enjoyable. Professors incorporate material from everyday life (newspapers, CDs, internet, movies, etc.) along with the material in the textbook to ensure that lessons are relevant and interesting.

Relaxed and Enjoyable Classroom Activities

We believe that students learn more when they are comfortable and relaxed, which is why our teachers aim to create an inviting and enjoyable learning environment that encourages student interaction whilst ensuring organized and focused lessons.

Solid Academic Framework

All of our programs are aligned with and based on the Cervantes Institute guidelines, and the curriculum and teaching plans are framed by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. In the classroom, our professors use the communicative method, meaning that students are encouraged to speak and interact as much as possible during class time. In all of our courses, students will develop the four key language skills: speaking, writing, reading, and listening.
