Class plan and methodology
for specific purposes
Methodology of the Spanish classes
During classes, all language skills are practiced (listening and reading comprehension, and spoken and written expression). In addition to grammar content, cultural and historical aspects of Spanish culture are also taught to achieve better linguistic immersion in our country. Besides classes, activities outside the classroom are carried out so students can put their knowledge to the test in real situations.
Student assessment is carried out on an ongoing basis through various activities and tests. In addition, the teacher provides personal, private follow-up through our platform.
Spanish course curriculum
In line with the objectives set out by the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), and with the aim of achieving learning of Spanish, the curriculum is based on creating a communicative and immersive dynamic, adapting to the needs of our students.
Both printed teaching materials and other electronic resources are used.
The use of our platform and the interactive screens found in all our classrooms allow us to embrace new technologies in order to innovate in education, with a very enriching and positive impact on students.
Excursions and extracurricular activities
Since we believe that learning a language is not only about studying grammar, at Academia Alba al Español we encourage language learning and cultural immersion through special activities usually held outside the classroom.
– Free activities:
- Competition-style challenges to discover the city and practice Spanish.
- Traditional “churros” breakfast. In this case, the student only needs to pay for what they consume.
- Tapas day to get to know our cuisine. This activity is free; the student only needs to pay for what they consume.
- Movie day (usually once a week). Students can watch films and documentaries in Spanish on our school’s interactive screens to learn about Spanish and Latin American culture.
- Celebration of World Literature Day, language exchanges, etc.
– Activities that are not free, although they may be included in some courses:
- Guided tours of Murcia’s historic center.
- Walk through the mountains and visit to the Fuensanta sanctuary.
- Excursion to Monteagudo and its castle.
Visit to the Salzillo museum and boat ride on the river.
