Study Plan and Methodology for Objective C1
Methodology of Spanish classes
During the course, we are very focused on oral and reading comprehension and oral and written expression. Not only do we learn the grammar, but also the Spanish culture, which includes a subject of history so that the student experiences a deep cultural and linguistic immersion in the country. When the students do outdoor activities, they learn how to react to daily situations, as well as using their linguistic skills. The assessment is continuous and we carry out different activities and exams. Our teachers monitor the students individually, and then post this information in the personal platform of the students.
Study plan of the Spanish course
We follow the objectives set by the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). This is why our study plan has a communicative and immersive approach. We adapt to every student and our aim is that they end up learning Spanish.
Regarding the materials, we use paper and other electronic resources.
Our classrooms count on new technologies such as interactive screens, which is one of the latest innovations in the educational field, leading it to such a rewarding experience for the students.
