Intensive Spanish Language for Teachers and Educational Staff

Intensive Spanish Language for Teachers and Educational Staff

Course content and strategies

The overall approach in the language development classes is communicative using a task-based learning approach. This covers all aspects of Spanish language skills – speaking, listening, reading, writing and mediation as well as pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar activities.

Class dynamics include individual, pair and group work, discussions, debates, roleplays, presentations, written tasks and listening exercises. A friendly, supportive atmosphere encourages participants to share their own ideas and experience while sharing with other international students.

Speaking

A range of activities to encourage communication is an integral part of our teaching to improve accuracy and fluency in authentic contexts.

Writing

Writing will be utilised to develop accuracy, cohesion, coherence and appropriacy. Writing activities may be set for homework.

Mediation

Using the international composition of the class to create the ability to facilitate intercultural communication and understanding.

Vocabulary

Active and passive vocabulary are key elements in learning a foreign language. Our lexical approach encourages the linking of words to meaning, avoiding problems of translation and interference.

Linguistic Structure

Grammatical structure for effective communication is presented by textual study to elicit meaning, use and form.

Culture

Our teaching materials present multiple aspects of Spanish life and culture. Learning Spain and the Spanish way of life avoids cultural misunderstanding and discrimination.
