Program Structure
The Spanish Language and Culture Courses at Alcalingua offer you the opportunity to enjoy three months of total immersion in Spanish.
After you have taken the level test on the first day of the course, the Centre will assign you to the appropriate group for your level so that your learning will be effective.
Whether you elect for morning or afternoon classes, you will have two one and a half hour long language classes every day and another class on civilisation or culture, with a short break in between.
The first session, Language and communication focuses on learning and practicing Spanish within a cooperative and contextualised framework.
The second session, Oral and written skills, concentrates on extending the use of Spanish through enjoyable activities that effectively practice the four skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing.
The third session will vary according to your level:
- A1 level students: since students at this level do not have a sufficient command of the language to attend classes in Spanish on civilisation or culture, this session will be used to improve those aspects of language and culture they need most.
- A2 level students: these students will attend classes on civilisation.
- B1-C2 level students: these students will have four modules addressing specific aspects of Spanish and Latin American art, history, film and literature.
