OUR COURSES

Educational research has shown that students have a greater capacity to learn under the stimulus of physical activity, which not only strengthens the body but sharpens the mind. This way we can make the best of both worlds and enjoy outdoor activities for their own sake and for the positive effect they have on our learning of the Spanish language.

Our courses, based on this philosophy, are divided into activities and lecture sessions.

 

Lectures: The students attend language classes in the classroom, where tutored by the teachers, they work for 4 sessions. They practise reading comprehension, listening, writing, and speech, always with the latest dynamic materials.This is when we take the opportunity to introduce new concepts, specific vocabulary, solve problems and practise Spanish in situations as close as possible to real life.

Our aim is to maximise the development of the communicative capacity of our students.


Activities: We go out into the surrounding countryside to do outdoor activities where, while having fun, we encourage the student to practice what he or she has learnt in the classroom in a real -life situation.
It has been proved that in our outdoor activities, situations emerge spontaneously for practising requests, offers, asking for and giving instructions, expressing agreement or disagreement or just changing the general mood, creating an atmosphere which invites communication.

LEVELS

We work with small groups and we have four levels:

Beginners: for those students who have no knowledge of Spanish or just know some unconnected words and expressions.

(At the end of the first week they will know how to greet and introduce people, and the basic vocabulary needed to get by in the restaurant, bar, hotel etc..)

Basic: for those students who can exchange basic information with simple grammatical structures.

Intermediate: for students who can carry out simple conversations on a one to one basis using a limited range of grammatical structures and vocabulary.

Advanced: students who communicate effectively in normal situations but have difficulty in finding words

expressions, and complex grammatical structures.

We also offer individual sessions for those students who may require them.
