As we have a wide range of different courses with differing objectives, our teaching style varies according to the type of course. On all courses the teacher-led classroom hours are supplemented by homework and any extra work a student wishes to do in the Study Centre.

The objective on these courses is to master all aspects of the language at your particular level. The approach which we have evolved for these programmes is an eclectic one combining the best aspects of the communicative approach with structured learning of grammar and syntax.

As students are not generally aware of the technicalities of language learning they tend to see progress in terms of grammatical items covered and feel more comfortable when they are able to see where they are in their progression towards mastering the structure (grammar) of the language.

Each day has a grammatical item which is themed throughout the day’s teaching. This item is presented formally and then the language skills and vocabulary are developed during the day using activities, role plays, video etc but always with direct or discrete reference to the day’s grammatical item.

Our highly experienced teachers ensure that this teaching is always fun, motivating and never boring.

The object of Master Class is to help the more mature student develop sufficient skills in Spanish to communicate in everyday situations, typically encountered on holiday in a Spanish-speaking environment.

The teaching is therefore focused on these situations: you will learn and practice the language needed to order drinks in a bar, order a meal, introduce yourself, go shopping in the market etc. This is frequently done through role-plays and the special activities programme gives plenty of opportunity to practise these newly acquired skills in real situations.

These are special programmes which can take into account the specific objectives and learning needs of each client or group of clients. Course content and learning objects are therefore agreed on a case-by-case basis with each client.
