Over the years Malaca Instituto has gained considerable experience in providing courses for teachers. These have been both “open-enrolment” programmes and tailor-made courses for pre-formed groups. Many have been funded from the Comenius programme.
This course combines 20 lessons per week of the Intensive course at an advanced level with 10 lessons per week of methodology.
The programme is generally intended for teachers teaching in secondary schools. However a primary level teacher with the level of Spanish required could benefit from the programme.
Objectives
- to refresh the language and teaching skills of overseas teachers of Spanish.
- to provide materials and ideas of direct and immediate use in the classroom
- to create a forum for the interchange of ideas
Course strategies
The Intensive Spanish element will include very advanced language plus aspects of Latin American culture. There will be a mixture of teacher-led classes to progress and perfect language use and knowledge and mini-lectures on the cultural aspects.
The methodology classes will take the form of workshops, presentations, debates, etc all lead by our trainers but expecting a high level of active participation and in-put from the participating teachers. The intention being to create a forum for the interchange of ideas and materials.
Content items
The content of the methodology lessons may include items such as:
- Ice breakers
- Stimulating interaction in the classroom
- Language games
- Alternative ideas for teaching grammar points
