Our language school will send a written level test and a self-assessment oral test together with the Spanish course documents. Students have until one week before the Spanish course starts to return the documents. All Spanish courses begin on the first day. Spanish classes are restricted to a maximum of 8 students per level group and are held from Monday to Friday between 09.00 and 18.30 h. There are 4, 5 or 6 lessons of Spanish language instruction per day, each lasting 45 minutes.

 

Method and contents
All Spanish classes are conducted entirely in the medium of Spanish and they are divided into two distinct blocks.

The first deals with the Spanish language itself, grammar structures and communicative functions.

The second part deals with specific cultural themes in order to integrate all abilities and skills. This means that beginners will learn Spanish for everyday situations whereas, in the more advanced Spanish courses, students become involved in selecting topics for discussion according to their individual needs and interests. The reality of Spain in transition, the contradictions and the socio-political and cultural developments of modern Spain, its Moorish history, the Spanish Civil War and Franco's dictatorship, Federico García Lorca and Flamenco culture, and the situation of minority communities are just some examples of possible themes. We always pay particular attention to aspects of Andalusia.

We offer the following 6 different Spanish course levels which correspond to those established in the new
«European Framework for Language Learning, Teaching and Evaluation». Each level corresponds to a 4 week Spanish course.
