Spanish Culture Live

The Spanish Culture Live Course takes place from Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and is divided into three modules:

The theory part concentrates on the grammatical aspects of the language. After imparting new concepts the students do practice exercises in order to assimilate them.

In the practice class the students learn and put into practice, in real or simulated situations, how to effectively communicate in Spanish. This part of the course stresses the acquisition of new vocabulary, using readings, tapings, videos and press articles. It also offers the possibility of gaining fluency in expressing oneself through debates, representations, etc. 

Both parts are taught by different professors, so that students get used to different accents and styles of teaching. All our classes take part in small groups so the learning rate is quite fast. Our teaching staff always uses the 'communicative' method of language teaching. The teachers encourage students to develop conversational skills and self-confidence, rather than asking them to chant verb conjugations or spend silent hours perusing lists of prepositions.

All our courses are in small groups, taught by two different teachers (one for grammar and the other for practice) so that the student gets used to the different accents and teaching styles. Given the small number of students per group, the pace of learning is very fast and intensive.
