All teaching is done in Spanish,
even for absolute beginners who have never studied
Spanish before. You are encouraged to use the
language from day one!
TEACHING METHOD.
The school in Tenerife has developed an open,
flexible and interactive method of teaching, drawing
on our years of experience, our understanding
of the cognitive process of language learning,
and our continual reflection on the desires and
interests of our students. Youll learn Spanish
as you learnt your native language through
practice and continuous communication. We adapt
our method to meet both individual student needs
and the demands of the Common European Framework
of Reference for Languages.
We strive to transform our classrooms
into lively, interactive spaces providing the
ideal elements for you to quickly attain your
Spanish language goals. To do this, we mix a variety
of tasks and activities: communicative and interactive,
grammatical and cultural. We will truly immerse
you in the Spanish language and Hispanic culture!
SMALL GROUPS. At our school
in Puerto de la Cruz, youll always be the
center of attention - you will never study in
a group of more than 8 students.
TIMETABLE. Well
expect you at school at eight oclock on
Monday morning the first day of the course
to test your language level. If Monday
coincides with a public holiday, we will start
on Tuesday. If you are a complete beginner, you
wont have to take the placement test, but
you will still need to arrive at the school at
the same time to get your bearings and start learning
as soon as possible.
You will have at least
four classes each day, with a half an hour break.
Each class lasts for 50 minutes. They take place
between 9 am and 7 pm. You may have classes in
the morning or in the afternoon. Your schedule
will depend on several elements (the current groups,
your level, type of course, etc) and will be decided
once you have arrived.
